Production
The Company produced 133,400 ounces of gold and 3,400 tonnes of copper in the third quarter of 2026. Gold production for the quarter was 4% lower than the prior quarter, with 8% lower production at Haile and 10% lower production at Macraes being partially offset by 15% and 6% higher production at Waihi and Didipio, respectively. At Haile, the lower production was due to a decrease in underground ore tonnes mined from the Horseshoe Underground at lower grades, resulting in lower grades processed. At Macraes, the lower production was primarily due to lower open pit ore tonnes mined at lower grades due to the completion of the current ore phase in Innes Mills Phase 8, as planned. The higher production at Waihi reflects an increase in ore tonnes mined at higher grades.
Third quarter gold production was 29% higher than the prior corresponding quarter, primarily driven by an 82% increase in gold production at Haile as a result of open pit mine sequencing in Ledbetter Phase 3 and increased tonnes and grade mined from the Horseshoe Underground. Macraes gold production was 13% higher due to an increase in underground ore tonnes mined and the processing of higher grade stockpiles, as compared to the prior corresponding quarter. At Didipio, production was 4% higher than the prior corresponding quarter as a result of a higher proportion of underground material being processed. Production at Waihi was comparable to the prior corresponding quarter.
Year to date, the Company has produced 402,300 ounces of gold, an 18% increase compared to the prior corresponding year to date period, driven by 43% higher production at Macraes and 20% higher production at Haile. Production at Macraes was driven by higher grade ore mined and processed from Innes Mills Phase 8, while increased production at Haile reflected higher mill throughput as a result of process plant improvement initiatives. Production at both Waihi and Didipio was comparable to the prior corresponding year to date period.
AISC†
The Company recorded third quarter AISC† of $1,874 per ounce, 13% lower than the prior quarter. The reduction was primarily driven by lower sustaining capital at all operations, higher by-product credits at Didipio and the benefit of higher gold sales volumes, partially offset by higher labour costs and increased maintenance and consumables costs from higher usage and inflation.
Third quarter AISC† was 20% lower than the prior corresponding quarter, primarily due to a 21% increase in gold ounces sold. This was partially offset by labour cost inflation inclusive of higher stock-based compensation settled in the first quarter of 2026 (as AISC† includes the cash settled element of stock-based compensation over the year of vesting) and ongoing cost inflation.
The Company recorded year to date AISC† of $2,038 per ounce on gold sales of 412,000 ounces. AISC† was consistent with the prior corresponding year to date period, as the benefits of a significant increase in gold ounces sold, primarily at Macraes and Haile, together with higher by-product credits at Didipio, were largely offset by higher labour costs, including increased stock-based compensation, investment in maintenance and reliability improvements, and inflationary pressures on operating consumables and maintenance parts.

Third quarter total capital and exploration expenditure of $170.9 million was in line with the prior quarter, as lower sustaining capital across all operations was offset by higher growth capital and exploration expenditure. Sustaining capital was lower at Didipio, Haile and Macraes, primarily reflecting the timing of investments in site infrastructure and mobile fleet replacements. Growth capital increased primarily due to the planned increase in investment in the Waihi North Project, with continued Palomino Underground Project spend at levels similar to the prior quarter. Deferred stripping and capitalized mining costs were lower this quarter, reflecting reduced underground development at Didipio as mining activities remained focused on production, partially offset by higher underground development at Haile's Horseshoe Underground due to the sequencing of mine development. Deferred stripping of Coronation North Phase 5 at Macraes progressed as planned with ore deliveries commencing and expected to increase through the fourth quarter.
Capital and exploration expenditure for the quarter was $37.1 million higher than the prior corresponding quarter, reflecting higher growth capital associated with the Waihi North Project and the Palomino Underground Project at Haile, together with increased exploration spend. These were partially offset by lower deferred stripping and capitalized mining costs, reflecting increased access to ore in Ledbetter Phase 3. Sustaining capital expenditures were also lower, primarily due to the timing of continued investment in site infrastructure and equipment.
Year to date capital and exploration expenditure of $479.5 million was $134.5 million higher than the prior corresponding year to date period due to higher growth capital expenditures progressing the Waihi North Project, commencement of the Palomino Underground Project at Haile and increased sustaining capital across all operations, offset by lower deferred stripping and capitalized mining costs. Additionally, increased exploration investment reflects expanded drilling programs focused on resource conversion and near-mine growth opportunities at all sites, as planned.

There were 9 recordable injuries during the quarter compared to 8 recordable injuries in the prior quarter. Hand and finger injuries continue to account for a majority of the recordable injuries in 2026. The Company's safety plans remain focused on strengthening the in-field verification of critical controls for high risk tasks and the "Stop and Think" program, alongside continued education and awareness initiatives relating to hand and finger injury risks.
Outlook
The Company's 2026 production, cost and capital Guidance is outlined in the table below.
The Company remains on track to achieve around the midpoint of its consolidated 2026 production Guidance. Production is expected to increase in the fourth quarter and be the strongest quarter of the year, primarily driven by Haile.
With Haile expecting its strongest production quarter of the year in the fourth quarter and 27,400 ounces produced in October, Haile's production is expected to be towards the low end of its 2026 production Guidance range. At Haile, a modified mine plan was implemented in the third quarter to de-risk the Ledbetter Pit South Wall. As a result, mining activities remained focused on the lower-grade upper benches of the Ledbetter open pit during the third quarter, temporarily impacting access to higher-grade ore. By the end of September, mining had successfully advanced into the lower benches, positioning Haile to access higher-grade ore and deliver an expected increase in production in the fourth quarter.
At Macraes, production is expected to be lower in the fourth quarter, as per plan, with full-year production expected to be near the top end of its Guidance range. Production at Waihi is expected to remain relatively consistent with the third quarter, while production at Didipio is expected to be higher in the fourth quarter, driven by increased underground mining rates.
Consolidated AISC† is anticipated to be towards the upper end of the Company's 2026 Guidance range, reflecting inflationary impacts on labour cost and operating consumables, continued investment in maintenance and reliability improvements, the component of unhedged energy costs and lower silver by-product credits, as well as the lower sales volumes expected from Haile. Fourth quarter consolidated AISC† is expected to be lower than the third quarter, underpinned by increased production at Haile. Full year AISC† at each of Macraes, Waihi and Didipio is expected to be within their respective 2026 Guidance ranges, while Haile's AISC† is anticipated to be around the high end of its 2026 Guidance range, reflecting lower volumes, increased investment in maintenance and reliability, and broader cost inflation, including labour.

| www.oceanagold.com | 7 |
Total capital investment for 2026 is expected to be approximately $45 million, or 7%, above the Company's total capital investment Guidance of $645 million, reflecting increased investment in growth and exploration capital. Expected higher growth capital reflects accelerated investment to support the Macraes Phase 4 ("MP4") Project, higher investment in the mining fleet at Didipio and additional spend at the Waihi North Project due to the acceleration of certain activities previously planned for 2027. Exploration capital is expected to be approximately $10 million above its Guidance of $60 million due to expanded, success-driven drilling programs at all four sites.

Iran Conflict
To date, the direct impacts of the ongoing Iran conflict on the Company's operations remain limited and supply chains have continued to support normal business operations. Although there has been no disruption to operations to date, conditions remain uncertain and the conflict has contributed to broader inflationary pressures across global energy and commodity markets, increasing the cost of diesel, freight, consumables and other operating inputs used throughout the business. Higher diesel costs at Haile and Macraes during the quarter continued to be largely offset by the Company's diesel hedging program.
Diesel represents approximately 6% of the Company's 2026 AISC† guidance with the majority of usage at the Haile and Macraes open-pit operations, where approximately 80% of planned consumption is hedged on a rolling 12-month basis. With the diesel hedges in place at the two operations, it is estimated that the direct impact of higher diesel prices on the Company's 2026 AISC† will be limited to approximately $25 per ounce.
The hedging program also includes 80% of the forecast diesel consumption at Waihi and Didipio starting in the first quarter of 2027.

Third quarter gold production was 8% lower than the prior quarter due to a decrease in underground ore tonnes mined at lower grades, resulting in lower grades processed. Gold production in the quarter was lower than previously expected, as a result of the implementation of a modified mine plan part way through the quarter to de-risk the Ledbetter Pit South Wall, temporarily impacting access to higher-grade open pit ore. Underground ore tonnes mined decreased by 18% as a result of lower underground equipment availability associated with planned fleet maintenance, with underground mine stopes delivering 41% lower grades due to planned stope sequencing. This was partially offset by 28% higher open pit ore tonnes mined, reflecting increased access to fresh ore from Ledbetter Phase 3 at 3% higher grades. As a result, mill feed grade in the quarter was 12% lower than the prior quarter, partially offset by a 5% increase in mill throughput reflecting the benefits of mill optimization initiatives which have continued to enhance mill reliability and performance, contributing to the highest quarterly mill throughput since the second quarter of 2023.
Third quarter gold production was 82% higher than the prior corresponding quarter primarily driven by increased mill throughput and higher mill feed grades, due to higher ore tonnes and grade mined from both the open pit and the underground, compared to the greater reliance on the processing of lower grade stockpiles in the prior corresponding quarter. Compared to the prior corresponding quarter, underground ore tonnes mined were 14% higher, reflecting improved underground mining productivity, while underground ore grades mined were 30% higher, in line with planned stope sequencing. Mill feed was 28% higher than the prior corresponding quarter as a result of process plant improvement initiatives driving increased plant availability.
Year to date gold production was 20% higher than the prior corresponding year to date period as a result of a 28% increase in mill throughput reflecting process plant improvement initiatives, offset by a 7% decrease in mill feed grade. This lower grade mill feed was driven by a higher volume of open pit ore tonnes from Ledbetter Phase 3 being processed at lower grades as compared to the higher grade, but lower volume, Ledbetter Phase 2 ore that was processed in the prior corresponding year to date period. Underground ore tonnes mined were higher than the prior corresponding year to date period due to improved underground productivity and higher grade underground ore reflecting the planned stope sequencing.

Third quarter open pit mining unit costs were 5% higher than the prior quarter, reflecting higher consumable costs, partially offset by a 4% increase in tonnes mined. Open pit mining unit costs were 61% higher than both the prior corresponding quarter and the prior corresponding year to date period, driven primarily by lower tonnes mined, labour cost inflation, higher stock-based compensation expense, and increased consumable costs, including the unhedged element of diesel.
Third quarter underground mining unit costs were 53% higher than the prior quarter and 34% higher than the prior corresponding quarter due to lower tonnes mined as a result of reduced equipment availability due to planned fleet maintenance. Unit costs were also impacted by labour cost inflation, consumables and maintenance cost increases, higher stock-based compensation expense and reliance on contractors for specialized underground roles. Unit costs were marginally higher than the corresponding year to date period as the productivity-driven 33% increase in tonnes mined was offset by the same higher costs.
Third quarter processing unit costs were lower than the prior quarter and the prior corresponding quarter due to the increase in mill feed volume, which represented the highest quarterly throughput since the second quarter of 2023. Unit costs were 6% lower than the prior corresponding year to date period as the 28% increase in mill feed was partially offset by the increased planned maintenance costs and labour cost inflation.
Third quarter G&A unit costs were higher than all comparative periods, with higher costs only partially offset by increased mill feed volume. The increase was driven by labour cost inflation, higher stock-based compensation expense and increased insurance premiums linked to higher revenue.
Third quarter AISC† of $1,811 per ounce sold was 7% lower than the prior quarter and 48% lower than the prior corresponding quarter, primarily due to a 14% and 81% increase in gold sales volumes, respectively. The benefit of higher sales volumes was partially offset by increased operating costs, including increased labour costs, as well as higher consumable and maintenance costs.
Year to date AISC† was in line with the prior corresponding year. The benefit of a 15% increase in gold sales volumes was largely offset by year-on-year labour cost inflation, increased costs associated with planned maintenance and reliability improvement activities, as well as higher sustaining capital spend on site infrastructure projects.

Third quarter gold production was 10% lower than the prior quarter, in line with plan, primarily due to lower open pit ore tonnes mined at lower grades due to the completion of the current ore phase in Innes Mills Phase 8. This was partially offset by a higher volume of underground ore tonnes mined at higher grades. Open pit ore tonnes and waste mined decreased by 45% and 3%, respectively, due to the completion of the current ore phase in Innes Mills Phase 8 and continued waste stripping productivity in Coronation North Phase 5. Underground ore tonnes mined were 11% higher due to an increase in development ore mined. Mill feed grade was 6% lower than the prior quarter due to lower open pit ore grades mined, partially offset by higher underground ore grades mined.
Third quarter gold production was 13% higher than the prior corresponding quarter, primarily driven by an increase in underground ore tonnes mined and the increased processing of higher grade stockpiles, contributing to the 22% higher mill feed grade. Underground ore tonnes mined increased by 29% due to improved underground performance reflecting increased equipment availability. The increased processing of stockpiles reflected the completion of the current ore phase in Innes Mills Phase 8 in the quarter, compared to the processing of lower grade open pit ore in the prior corresponding quarter. This was also reflected by a 39% decrease in open pit ore tonnes mined in the quarter.
Year to date gold production was 43% higher than the prior corresponding year to date period, driven by increased access to higher grade open pit ore tonnes from Innes Mills Phase 8 contributing to the 44% higher mill feed grade and a 2% increase in gold recoveries.

Exploration
Third quarter exploration expenditure totaled $4.1 million for 12,700 metres drilled.
During the quarter, drilling occurred across several areas at Macraes. At Golden Point Underground ("GPUG"), drilling to target the southern extension of the resource was completed, while at Southern Pit Innes Mills ("SPIM"), an extension to the north of the current Innes Mills open pit, drilling focused on increasing resource confidence. Additionally during the quarter, two drill rigs began initial drilling to test the broader potential of SPIM.
Year to date 2026 exploration expenditure totaled $10.7 million for 44,470 metres drilled across Coronation, Coronation North, GPUG, Innes Mills and Nunns. Drill results released to date at Macraes support mine life extension opportunities, continuing to show significant potential for further resource conversion and growth.
Drilling in the fourth quarter will continue to test the broader potential of SPIM and additional resource opportunities on the western side of Innes Mills.
Projects
During the quarter, the Company lodged its application for the approval of MP4 under New Zealand's Fast-track approvals process, and received confirmation that the application is complete to proceed to the appointment of an Expert Panel. The MP4 application seeks to extend the mine life at Macraes from the current reserve life of 2032, to the late 2030s. The Company expects MP4 to be fully permitted by mid-2027 (subject to appeals).
An updated National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") technical report is expected to be released in early 2028, which will include an updated production, cost and capital expenditure profile for Macraes, incorporating the development of SPIM.
Beyond the current reserve life at Macraes, further mine life extension opportunities are being evaluated that could potentially extend mine life into the 2040s.

Exploration
Third quarter exploration expenditure totaled $8.7 million for 6,800 metres drilled across the Waihi District, including Martha Underground ("MUG"), Wharekirauponga, Correnso North and Hauraki.
At Martha Underground, 1,690 metres of resource conversion and definition drilling were completed targeting conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources.
Drilling at Wharekirauponga accelerated in the quarter, with the expansion of the fleet to five active rigs and the construction of a new drill site. In the third quarter, 3,610 metres of drilling were completed with a continued focus on conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources on the southern-end of the East Graben ("EG") vein. Results released year to date continue to confirm continuity and quality of the southern high-grade zone, and supports the potential upgrade of a substantial portion of this zone from Inferred to Indicated Mineral Resources.
Exploration drilling commenced on two regional brownfields targets, Correnso North and Hauraki, with 1,500 metres completed during the quarter. Drilling is targeting potential extensions of the historically operated Correnso Underground mine, located in close proximity to MUG as well as testing a significant regional trend of historical mineralization at Hauraki, located to the west of Wharekirauponga.
Year to date 2026 exploration expenditure totaled $18.5 million for 18,320 metres drilled across the Waihi District.
With five active drill rigs now operating at Wharekirauponga, drilling in the fourth quarter will focus on both resource conversion and growth-oriented step out drilling along strike of the EG vein. Drilling will also continue at MUG, Correnso North and Hauraki.
Projects
The Waihi District comprises the Company's Waihi Operation, which includes the currently producing MUG, and the Waihi North Project, which includes the high-grade Wharekirauponga Underground ("WUG").
An updated NI 43-101 technical report on the Waihi District is planned for release in January 2027. The technical report will include updated Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates.
The technical report will also include an updated mine plan for the Waihi District, incorporating the results of ongoing technical evaluations. These evaluations are assessing the potential to extend mining at MUG beyond 2033, in conjunction with the commencement of mining at WUG. To support this opportunity, the Company is also evaluating a potential processing plant expansion to increase throughput capacity up to 1.2 million tonnes per annum.

Waihi North Project
OceanaGold is permitted to develop and operate the Waihi North Project. Construction and underground tunnelling activity to the underground mine continues to ramp up with overall project development progressing on schedule for first ore in 2032.
Following completion of the portal, decline development commenced in May 2026 and is progressing in line with plan, advancing just over 500 metres to date. Construction of the first ventilation shaft commenced in the third quarter, with a second jumbo expected to be added in the first half of 2027 to begin development of the twin tunnel toward Wharekirauponga.
Bulk earthworks at the Willows Portal site continued in the third quarter, with water management-related sedimentation ponds, haul roads and waste rock stack and the magazine completed in the quarter. The surface facilities earthworks remain on track for completion by year end, with the surface area buildings and workshop expected to be constructed in 2027. Staged commissioning of the water treatment plant commenced in September, and is expected to be fully commissioned by year end. Early works activities on TSF 3 are expected to commence in the fourth quarter.
The following table summarizes the capital and exploration spent on the Waihi North Project during the relevant periods:
| $M | Q3 2026 | Q2 2026 | Q3 2025 | YTD 2026 | YTD 2025 |
| Growth capital1 | 51.6 | 35.2 | 12.4 | 103.9 | 23.9 |
| Exploration | 6.3 | 3.5 | 2.8 | 12.6 | 7.6 |
| Total expenditure | 57.9 | 38.7 | 15.2 | 116.5 | 31.5 |
1 Waihi North Project costs include study, permitting and property acquisition costs.
Capital investment in the Waihi North Project increased in the third quarter, in line with plan. Fourth quarter capital investment is expected to be a slight step up from the third quarter, reflecting additional spend due to the acceleration of certain activities previously planned for 2027. As a result, full-year growth capital at Waihi is expected to be marginally higher than previously anticipated.
With respect to the Waihi North Project Fast-track approval, one notice of appeal was received within the prescribed timeframe for lodging appeals. The appeal was heard in late October 2026, and the Company is awaiting the Court's decision in 2027. The Company remains very confident in its ability to defend this appeal. No injunction has been sought on the current activities and progress for development of the Waihi North Project continues in line with the plan.

Processing unit costs were higher compared to all comparative periods due to higher labour and maintenance costs, while remaining period-to-period variations were largely driven by changes in mill throughput.
G&A unit costs were lower than the prior quarter, primarily due an 18% increase in mill throughput. G&A unit costs were higher than the prior corresponding quarter and prior corresponding year-to-date period primarily because of lower tonnes milled.
Third quarter AISC† of $687 per ounce was 57% lower than the prior quarter, due primarily to the particularly favourable impacts of higher copper by-product credits, higher gold sales volumes and lower sustaining capital spend. These benefits were partially offset by higher diesel and maintenance costs, as well as higher government royalties. AISC† was lower than the prior corresponding quarter with higher copper by-product credits and lower sustaining capital spend, partially offset by lower gold sales volumes.
Year to date AISC† was lower than the prior corresponding year to date period, primarily due to increased copper by-product credits driven by higher copper prices. This was partially offset by higher diesel and consumables costs related to increased activity and inflationary pressures as well as a 3% decrease in gold sales volumes.

Exploration
Third quarter exploration expenditure totaled $2.4 million for a total of 11,660 metres drilled.
Underground drilling continued to ramp up significantly in the third quarter, with three drill rigs completing a total of 7,430 metres of drilling, targeting conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources in Panels 3 and 4. This drilling will support an update to Didipio's Mineral Resources estimate at year end 2026.
Drilling from surface to test the extents of the Didipio mineralization at depth continued as planned, with two drill holes completed, and a third drill hole in progress. To date, 2,550 metres have been completed of a 5,000 metre program for the ongoing evaluation and delineation of the target area.
At the True Blue target, a total of 1,620 metres were drilled in the quarter, completing an advanced drilling program. True Blue is an area of known mineralization 800 metres northeast of the Didipio Mine. Technical work is continuing to evaluate the potential for a future Mineral Resource estimate.
Also in the quarter, surface exploration drilling commenced across the FTAA to test for additional mineral resource opportunities adjacent to the current mining operations. One drill rig was mobilized to support the program.
|
† See "Non-IFRS Financial Information". |

| www.oceanagold.com | 21 |
Year to date 2026 exploration expenditure totaled $6.3 million for a total of 33,860 metres drilled from both surface and underground.
Drilling in the fourth quarter will continue from underground, targeting Panels 3 and 4, with surface drilling continuing to test the extents of Didipio mineralization at depth, while the surface exploration drilling program across the FTAA will progress.
Other Properties
Regional Exploration Programs
During and after the period, the Company continued to progress and evaluate its regional exploration strategy in the United States on its two earn-in transactions.
Brewer (South Carolina)
In the quarter, all results were received from the initial drilling program testing the gold-copper porphyry target at the Brewer Gold-Copper Project in South Carolina (the "Brewer Project"). Having met the minimum exploration commitment and following evaluation of the results, the Company terminated its earn-in joint venture agreement with the project owner, Carolina Rush Corporation, in September.
TJ, Jake Creek, Hot Creek (Nevada)
The Company has earn-in joint venture agreements with Headwater Gold Inc. ("Headwater") to explore each of the TJ, Jake Creek and Hot Creek projects in Nevada, which include a minimum commitment of funding an aggregate of $2.5 million in exploration expenditures across the three projects by October 15, 2027.
During the quarter, drilling continued at Jake Creek testing multiple low-sulphidation epithermal targets defined in the area, with 3,800 metres of drilling completed. Results of the drill program are pending.
Target definition work was completed at Hot Creek during the quarter. A review of the work completed concluded that the target was insufficiently robust for the Company to continue.
Having met the minimum expenditures at all three projects, and following technical review, the Company terminated the earn-in joint venture agreements for Hot Creek and TJ subsequent to the end of the quarter.

1 The Average Copper Price received includes mark-to-market revaluation on shipments not yet finalized and final adjustments on prior period shipments.
Third quarter revenue of $654.9 million was marginally higher than the prior quarter as a result of higher copper volumes sold at higher realized prices. Higher gold sold volumes in the quarter were largely offset by a decrease in the average realized gold price. Third quarter revenue was 46% higher than the prior corresponding quarter, primarily due to a 22% higher average realized gold price and a 21% increase in gold sales volumes, with additional benefit from higher realized copper and silver prices.
Year to date revenue was 63% higher than the prior corresponding year to date period due to a 41% higher average gold price and a 17% increase in gold sales volumes, with copper price benefits also driving higher by-product revenue.

Cost of Sales, excluding depreciation and amortization
Variance explanations are covered in the AISC† section of the "Results Overview" and the "Financial Performance" sections of each mining operation.
Depreciation and Amortization
Third quarter depreciation and amortization was higher than both the prior quarter and prior corresponding quarter. Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to higher ore production from Ledbetter Phase 3 at Haile, resulting in increased depreciation of related capitalized stripping costs on a unit-of-production basis.
|
† See "Non-IFRS Financial Information". |
||
| www.oceanagold.com | 23 |
Year to date depreciation and amortization of $265.7 million was 55% higher than the prior year, primarily due to increased unit-of-production linked depreciation of capitalized stripping costs at Haile and Macraes. This reflects higher ore production from Ledbetter Phase 3 and Innes Mills Phase 8 during the year.
General and Administration ("G&A")
Third quarter G&A expense was higher than both the prior quarter and the prior corresponding quarter, primarily due to the remeasurement of cash-settled share-based awards to reflect an increase in the Company's share price during the quarter. Share-based compensation recognized in G&A was $8.5 million in the third quarter, compared with $0.7 million in both the prior quarter and the prior corresponding quarter.
Year to date G&A expense was 87% higher than the prior corresponding year to date period, primarily due to the remeasurement of cash-settled share-based awards reflecting the Company's sustained higher share price. Share-based compensation recognized in G&A was $30.4 million, compared with $10.5 million in the prior corresponding period.
Additional Government Share
Variance explanation is covered in Didipio's "FTAA - Additional Government Share" section of this MD&A.

Foreign exchange (loss) gain
The foreign exchange (loss)/gain primarily reflects the remeasurement of United States dollar-denominated cash balances held by New Zealand dollar functional currency entities.
Interest expense and finance costs
Third quarter interest expense and finance costs primarily relate to leases and accretion of asset retirement obligation liabilities.
Year to date interest and finance costs of $10.5 million were 14% higher than the prior corresponding year to date period, primarily due to higher accretion on asset retirement obligations linked to higher discount rates. There is no bank debt outstanding with the remaining balance on the fleet facility arrangement previously repaid in the first quarter of 2025.
Write-down of exploration interests
The write-off of mineral interests recognized during the quarter relates primarily to the termination of the earn-in joint venture agreement for the Brewer Project in South Carolina, USA, along with smaller exploration property write-offs identified through the routine review of capitalized exploration and evaluation assets.

The most significant factors causing variation in the quarterly results are changes in: the gold and copper price and timing of sales; production levels reflecting the variability in the grade of ore mined at each of the operations and associated movements in inventories; gold and copper recoveries; and the timing and extent of deferred stripping and underground mine development, including amortization of those costs and changes in the cost of labour, goods and services.
Realized average gold prices increased sequentially in each quarter following the fourth quarter of 2024, peaking in the first quarter of 2026. While prices have since eased modestly, realized gold prices in the third quarter of 2026 remained approximately 60% above fourth quarter 2024 levels, providing a benefit to revenue, cash flow and profitability.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, $133 million after tax related to the remaining historical impairment at Haile was reversed, which increased net profit and was excluded in the calculation of adjusted net profit† for that period.

| Non-controlling interest | 103.3 | 104.1 |
Current assets increased $354.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily reflecting a $252.2 million increase in cash (refer to the "Cash Flows" section below) and a $40.8 million increase in inventory, primarily related to ore stockpiles.
Non-current assets increased by $174.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to mining asset and property, plant and equipment additions at all sites, including deferred stripping costs at Haile and Macraes, and capitalized mining related to underground development at all sites, partially offset by depreciation and amortization.
Current liabilities increased by $110.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, driven by a $37.9 million increase in trade and other payables associated with increased activity levels, including a $10.8 million net increase in the Additional Government Share accrual. In addition, taxes payable increased by $69.9 million, reflecting higher profitability at all sites. Employee benefits increased by $8.2 million, being the net of ongoing stock-based compensation expense, reclassification of balances from non-current and the settlement of the cash element of vested share rights during the first quarter.
Non-current liabilities increased $16.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and reflects an increase in deferred tax liabilities of $48.7 million and leases of $3.3 million that were partially offset by a $23.2 million decrease in employee benefits, primarily reflecting the reclassification to current liabilities based on expected settlement timing.
The non-controlling interest decrease of $0.8 million reflects $19.2 million of earnings attributable to the 20% minority interest at Didipio, offset by $20.0 million of dividend distributions.

Cash flows provided by operating activities in the third quarter increased by $10.9 million or 3% over the prior quarter driven by higher copper revenue and lower working capital outflows, partially offset by lower realized gold prices. Year to date cash flows provided by operating activities of $1,019.6 million were 63% higher than the prior corresponding year to date period, primarily due to higher realized gold prices and volumes.
Cash flows used in investing activities for the third quarter of $169.2 million were 8% lower than the prior quarter, reflecting the timing of investments. Year to date cash flows used in investing activities of $479.0 million were 40% higher than the prior corresponding year to date period, primarily due to investments in the Waihi North Project and Palomino Underground at Haile and increased infrastructure projects at all operations, as discussed in the "Results Overview - Capital and Exploration" section of this MD&A.
Cash flows used in financing activities for the third quarter were $77.1 million, comprising share buybacks under the Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") of $46.7 million (excluding $11.5 million of repurchases executed at quarter end and settled in October), dividends paid to shareholders of the Company and non-controlling interests of $20.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and lease liability payments of $7.0 million.
In the prior quarter, cash flows used in financing activities of $94.4 million comprised share buybacks under the NCIB of $57.5 million, dividends paid to shareholders of the Company and non-controlling interests of $20.0 million and $9.0 million, respectively, and repayment of lease liabilities of $7.9 million.
Year to date cash flows used in financing activities of $279.9 million mainly reflect $180.9 million in share buybacks (excluding the $11.5 million quarter end repurchases), payment of lease liabilities of $18.7 million and dividends paid to shareholders of the Company and non-controlling interests of $60.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively. In the prior corresponding year to date period, cash flows used in financing activities of $137.1 million comprised $79.6 million of share buybacks, $20.9 million and $13.0 million of dividends paid to shareholders of the Company and non-controlling interests, respectively, and $20.8 million in repayment of lease liabilities.
The strong Free Cash Flow† generated across all comparative periods primarily reflects the impact of realized gold prices and gold sales volumes. Variability between periods was further influenced by levels of operating and capital expenditure, as well as the timing of payments related to income taxes and the Additional Government Share.

The Company has a revolving credit facility (the "Facility") with seven leading international banks for a total of $200 million plus a $50 million uncommitted accordion. The Facility is secured against present and future assets, property and undertakings and has a term maturing on December 31, 2027.
There are no amounts drawn under the Facility as at September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: nil). As at September 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenant obligations related to the Facility.
The Company had immediately available Liquidity† of $928.7 million at September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: $676.5 million), comprised of $728.7 million (December 31, 2025: $476.5 million) in cash and $200.0 million (December 31, 2025: $200.0 million) in undrawn funds under the Facility. The increase in Liquidity† primarily relates to higher cash balances resulting from Free Cash Flow† generation, as noted above.
As at September 30, 2026, the Company was in a net current asset position of $470.3 million compared to $226.1 million as at December 31, 2025.
Share Buyback
In July 2026, the Company received approval from the TSX to renew the NCIB, permitting the Company to buy back up to 22 million common shares in the open market through the facilities of the TSX, NYSE and alternative trading systems in Canada and the United States during the period commencing on July 24, 2026 and ending on or before July 23, 2027.
In connection with the NCIB, the Company renewed its automatic securities purchase plan, which allows for the purchase of common shares under the NCIB at times when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase shares due to regulatory restrictions and customary self-imposed blackouts.
In 2025, the Company completed the maximum $175 million in share buybacks approved by the Board of Directors under the share repurchase program for that year.
On February 18, 2026, the Board of Directors approved share buybacks in 2026 up to a maximum of $350 million of common shares in the open market through the facilities of the TSX, NYSE and alternative trading systems in Canada and the United States under the NCIB program. During the third quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased and cancelled 2.0 million common shares for consideration of $58.6 million at an average price of CAD$40.36 per share, and $192.8 million year to date (at an average price of CAD$45.15 per share).

Hedging
The Company does not hedge any of its current or future gold sales, nor does it have any prepay agreements or royalty financing arrangements, so has benefited fully from the higher gold price.
The Company has a hedging program covering up to 80% of forecast diesel consumption, with coverage at Haile and Macraes in the fourth quarter of 2026 expanding to all four operations from the first quarter of 2027 through the third quarter of 2027.
The resulting hedging arrangements consist of monthly cash-settled swap transactions referencing the following appropriate diesel pricing indices to fix diesel prices and reduce input cost volatility:
| • | US Gulf Coast Ultra-Low Sulfur No 2 Diesel for an amount representing 80% of the forecast diesel consumption at Haile, split into even monthly amounts; and |
| • | Platts Singapore (Gasoil) for an amount representing 80% of the forecast diesel consumption at Macraes, Waihi and Didipio, split into even monthly amounts. |
The Company has elected to apply hedge accounting to these diesel hedging arrangements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded realized gain of $13.9 million within cost of sales and unrealized gain of $30.1 million in other comprehensive income as a result of the hedging arrangements.
There are no other hedges related to gold, copper, silver or currencies.
Capital Commitments
Capital commitments relate principally to the purchase of property, plant and equipment at Haile, Macraes and Waihi and the mine development at Macraes, Waihi and Didipio. The Company's capital commitments as at September 30, 2026 are as follows:

Proposed Transaction
On August 17, 2026, the Company and Ausgold Limited ("Ausgold") entered into a scheme implementation deed pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued shares of Ausgold by way of an Australian court-approved scheme of arrangement (the "Transaction"). Ausgold is an Australian gold development company and owns the Katanning Gold Project in Western Australia.
Pursuant to the Transaction, each Ausgold share will be exchanged for 0.03365 common shares of the Company (the "Scheme Consideration"). Based on the Company's closing share price and the applicable foreign exchange rate on August 14, 2026, the Scheme Consideration implied a total offer value of A$1.36 per Ausgold share and a fully diluted equity value for Ausgold of approximately A$776 million ($549 million). Ausgold shareholders also have the opportunity to elect to receive the Scheme Consideration value in cash, subject to scale-back based on a maximum aggregate cash pool for the Transaction of A$194 million ($137 million) based on the applicable foreign exchange rate on August 14, 2026. The implied value of the Scheme Consideration is not fixed and will fluctuate with the Company's share price and applicable foreign exchange rates through completion of the Transaction.
The number of common shares ultimately issued and the amount of cash paid will depend on the number of Ausgold shares outstanding at the scheme record date and the aggregate cash elections made.
The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including (amongst others) approval by Ausgold shareholders and the Court and TSX and NYSE approval for the issuance of the Company's common shares as part of the Scheme Consideration.
In connection with the Transaction, the Company agreed to provide Ausgold with an unsecured A$20 million bridge loan facility to support ordinary-course expenditures prior to completion, subject to the terms and conditions of the full-form facility agreement between the parties. As at September 30, 2026, the facility was undrawn. The Company has subsequently advanced US$0.1 million to Ausgold, with the undrawn balance remaining available under the facility agreement.
The Transaction is expected to be completed in December 2026. Once completed, Ausgold will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Ausgold's shares will be removed from the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange.

Non-IFRS Financial Information
Throughout this MD&A, the Company has provided measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, as well as certain non-IFRS performance measures. As non-IFRS performance measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, they are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company provides these non-IFRS measures as they are used by certain investors to evaluate OceanaGold's performance. Accordingly, such non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation, or a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS.
These measures are used internally by the Company's Management to assess the performance of the business and make decisions on the allocation of resources and are included in this MD&A to provide greater understanding of the underlying performance of the operations. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any non-IFRS financial measures included in this MD&A.
Adjusted Net Profit and Adjusted Earnings per share
These are used by Management to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Management believes these measures provide information that is useful to investors because they are important indicators of the strength of the Company's operations and the performance of its core business. Accordingly, such measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted net profit is calculated as net profit less the impact of non-recurring items and significant recurring non-cash items. Including impairment expenses and reversals, write-downs, foreign exchange gains/losses, gain on sale of assets and listing costs. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted net profit and Adjusted earnings per share is appropriate to provide additional information to investors regarding items that Management does not expect to continue at the same level in the future or that Management does not believe to be a reflection of the Company's ongoing operating performance.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a valuable indicator of its ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flows to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA less the impact of non-recurring items and significant recurring non-cash items, including impairment expenses and reversals, write-downs, gains/losses on disposal of assets, listing costs, foreign exchange gains/losses and other non-recurring costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Cash Costs and AISC
Cash Costs are a common financial performance measure in the gold mining industry; however, it has no standard meaning under IFRS. Management uses this measure to monitor the performance of the Company's mining operations and its ability to generate positive cash flows, both on an individual site basis and an overall company basis. Cash Costs include mine site operating costs plus indirect taxes and selling cost net of by-product allocations and are then divided by ounces sold. In calculating Cash Costs, the Company includes the value of cash-settled stock-based compensation expense in the year of vesting. Cash Costs are reduced by copper and silver by-product cost allocations that are considered incidental to the gold production process, thereby allowing Management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold production. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operations under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.
Management believes that the AISC measure provides additional insight into the costs of producing gold by capturing all of the expenditures required for the discovery, development and sustaining of gold production and allows the Company to assess its ability to support capital expenditures to sustain future production from the generation of operating cash flows, both on an individual site basis and an overall company basis, while maintaining current production levels. Management believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow per ounce sold. AISC is calculated as the sum of Cash Costs, capital expenditures and exploration costs that are sustaining in nature and corporate G&A costs. AISC is divided by ounces sold to arrive at AISC per ounce.
The following table provides a reconciliation of consolidated Cash Costs and AISC:
| $M, except per oz amounts | Q3 2026 | Q2 2026 | Q3 2025 | YTD 2026 | YTD 2025 |

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. As a result, even those systems of internal control over financial reporting determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management has used the criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Management has determined that there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2026 which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Accounting Estimates, Policies and Changes
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires Management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes. The Company's material accounting policies and critical estimates and judgements are disclosed in Notes 3 and 4 of its condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Risks and Uncertainties
This MD&A contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, performance, prospects, opportunities and continued mining operations to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. The exploration and development of natural resources are highly speculative in nature and the Company's business operations, investments and prospects are subject to significant risks. For details and discussion of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to the risk factors set forth in the Company's most recent Annual Information Form available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca, the Company's current Annual Report on Form 40-FR12B filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on EDGAR at sec.gov and on the Company's website at oceanagold.com, and the Company's other filings and submissions with securities regulators on SEDAR+ and EDGAR, which could materially affect the Company's business, operations, investments and prospects and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company. The list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect the Company's forward-looking statements and additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers immaterial may also impair the business, operations, investments and prospects of the Company. If any of the risks actually occur, the business of the Company may be negatively impacted and its financial condition and results of operations may suffer significantly.

Notes to Reader
