Performance HighlightsA table comparing production, sales and cash cost measures by asset for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2024 against 2024 guidance is located on page 9 of this news release.

In the third quarter of 2024, Chelopech continued to deliver strong operating results. Gold production at Ada Tepe was impacted by temporary operational challenges during the quarter, which have been resolved. With strong year-to-date results and production expected to increase in the fourth quarter, both mines remain on track to achieve their respective 2024 production and cost guidance.

Highlights include the following:

Chelopech, Bulgaria: Gold contained in gold-copper and pyrite concentrates produced in the third quarter of 2024 was 9% higher than 2023 due primarily to higher gold recoveries and ore grades. Gold contained in gold-copper and pyrite concentrates produced in the first nine months of 2024 was 4% higher than 2023 due primarily to higher gold recoveries. Copper production in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was comparable to 2023.

All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was 43% and 30% lower than 2023, respectively, due primarily to lower treatment charges as a result of DPM having secured more favourable commercial terms for the year under the current tight market for copper concentrates, higher volumes of gold sold,  and higher by-product credits reflecting higher realized copper prices, partially offset by higher labour cost, as well as lower cash outlays for sustaining capital expenditures.

The Company is assessing the potential impact of a proposed change by China’s tax authority to the applicability of value-added taxes (“VAT”) and import duties on gold-copper concentrates. While this change is not yet confirmed, and Chelopech’s sales contracts currently provide that taxes and duties in China are for the buyer’s account, the Company will continue to monitor the situation and to assess any potential impact on the future demand and commercial terms, including alternative buyers, for Chelopech's gold-copper concentrates.

Ada Tepe, Bulgaria: Gold contained in concentrate produced in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was 52% and 34% lower than 2023, respectively, due primarily to mining in lower grade zones in the first six months of the year, in line with mine plan, and lower than expected grades, recoveries and fleet availability in the third quarter. The Company expects increased production in the fourth quarter as mining has transitioned to an area of the pit with higher grades and recoveries, and fleet availability has improved. Ada Tepe remains on track to achieve its guidance for gold production.

All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was 130% and 51% higher than 2023, respectively, due primarily to lower volumes of gold sold.

Consolidated Operating Highlights

Production: Gold contained in concentrate produced in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was 19% and 13% lower than 2023, due primarily to lower gold production at Ada Tepe, partially offset by higher gold recoveries at Chelopech.

Copper production in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was comparable to 2023.

Deliveries: Payable gold in concentrate sold in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was 21% and 14% lower than 2023, consistent with lower gold production.

Payable copper in concentrate sold in the third quarter of 2024 was comparable to 2023. Payable copper in the first nine months of 2024 was 6% lower than 2023, due primarily to the timing of deliveries.

Cost measures: Cost of sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 increased 10% and 6%, respectively, compared to 2023, due primarily to higher labour costs.

All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold in third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was 10% and 2% higher than 2023, respectively, due primarily to lower volumes of gold sold, higher share-based compensation expenses reflecting DPM’s strong share price performance, and higher labour costs, partially offset by lower treatment charges at Chelopech and higher by-product credits as a result of higher realized copper prices.

Capital expenditures: Sustaining capital expenditures incurred in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 were comparable to 2023.

Growth and other capital expenditures incurred during the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 decreased 48% and 22%, respectively, compared to 2023, due primarily to lower expenditures related to the Loma Larga gold project, as expected.

Consolidated Financial Highlights

Financial results in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 reflected higher realized metal prices and lower treatment charges at Chelopech, partially offset by lower volumes of gold sold at Ada Tepe and higher planned exploration and evaluation expenses.

Revenue: Revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was 21% and 12% higher than 2023, respectively, due primarily to higher realized metal prices and lower treatment charges at Chelopech, partially offset by lower volumes of gold sold at Ada Tepe.

Net earnings: Net earnings from continuing operations in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 increased 26% and 20%, respectively, compared to 2023 due primarily to higher revenue and interest income, partially offset by higher planned exploration and evaluation expenses, higher labour costs including higher share-based compensation expenses reflecting DPM’s strong share performance, and higher income taxes.

Adjusted net earnings: Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 increased 26% and 15%, respectively, compared to 2023 due primarily to the same factors affecting net earnings from continuing operations, with the exception of adjusting items primarily related to the net termination fee received from Osino Resources Corp. (“Osino”).

Cash provided from operating activities: Cash provided from operating activities of continuing operations in the third quarter of 2024 was 25% lower than 2023 due primarily to the timing of deliveries and subsequent receipt of cash, partially offset by higher earnings generated from continuing operations in the quarter. Cash provided from operating activities of continuing operations in the first nine months of 2024 was 12% higher than 2023 due primarily to higher earnings generated from continuing operations in the period and the timing of payments to suppliers, partially offset by the timing of deliveries and subsequent receipt of cash.

Free cash flow: Free cash flow from continuing operations in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was 54% and 20% higher than 2023, respectively, due primarily to higher earnings generated in the periods. Free cash flow is calculated before changes in working capital.

Balance Sheet Strength and Financial Flexibility

The Company continues to maintain a strong financial position, with a growing cash position, no debt and an undrawn $150 million revolving credit facility.

Cash and cash equivalents increased from $595.3 million as at December 31, 2023 to $658.2 million as at September 30, 2024 due primarily to earnings generated in the period, and cash proceeds from the disposition of Osino shares and the Tsumeb smelter, partially offset by a net cash outflow of $94.8 million related to the DPM Tolling Agreement, cash outlays for capital expenditures, payments for shares repurchased under the Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) and dividends paid.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

In line with its disciplined capital allocation framework, DPM continues to return excess capital to shareholders, which currently includes a sustainable quarterly dividend and periodic share repurchases under the NCIB.

During the first nine months of 2024, the Company returned a total of $49.5 million to shareholders through dividends paid of $21.7 million, as well as payments for shares repurchased of $27.8 million following the renewal of the NCIB in late March.

Share Repurchases

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company purchased a total of 3,399,511 shares with a total cost of $28.3 million at an average price per share of $8.32 (Cdn$11.36).

The actual timing and number of common shares that may be purchased under the NCIB will be undertaken in accordance with DPM’s capital allocation framework, having regard for such things as DPM’s financial position, business outlook and ongoing capital requirements, as well as its share price and overall market conditions.

Quarterly Dividend

On November 5, 2024, the Company declared a dividend of $0.04 per common share payable on January 15, 2025 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2024.

Development Projects Update

Čoka Rakita, Serbia

DPM continues to focus on advancing the high-quality Čoka Rakita project, which has rapidly progressed since the announcement of the initial discovery in January 2023.

The PFS remains on track for completion in the first quarter of 2025. At the end of the third quarter, the PFS design and engineering was approximately 80% complete. Market and vendor engagement for pricing and cost estimates has commenced and will continue into the fourth quarter. During the third quarter of 2024, the PFS infill drilling program was completed, whereby results continued to confirm the continuity of the high-grade mineralization, and an updated Mineral Resource estimate is underway. In addition, the geotechnical and hydrogeological drilling program, which will support the PFS design and cost estimates, is nearing completion.

In parallel, permitting activities have continued to advance. Environmental and other baseline studies, which form part of the environmental and social impact assessment, are ongoing and expected to be submitted in early 2026. Permitting preparation activities are underway, with a detailed timeline focused on supporting commencement of construction in mid-2026.

The Company has had a local presence in Serbia since 2004, has developed strong relationships in the region, and will continue its proactive engagement with all stakeholders as the project advances.

The Company has planned to spend a total of $30 million to $35 million for the Čoka Rakita project in 2024, with $17.3 million incurred in the first nine months of the year as a result of the timing of expenditures.

Loma Larga, Ecuador

At the Loma Larga gold project in Ecuador, the Company continued to progress activities related to permitting and stakeholder relations. The Company continues to support the government in fulfilling the requirements of the August 2023 ruling by the Provincial Court of Azuay in connection with the Constitutional Protective Action that was filed in 2022. In October 2024, the baseline ecosystem and water studies, as required by the ruling, were submitted to the court by the Ministry of Environment, Water and Ecological Transition. On October 31, 2024, the environmental consultation process was completed, with local communities voting overall in favour of the development of the project. Issuance of the environmental licence is expected once the prior informed indigenous consultation is concluded.

The Company maintains a constructive relationship with government institutions and other stakeholders involved with the development of the project.

The Company has budgeted between $10 million and $11 million for the project in 2024, with $8.4 million incurred in the first nine months of the year.

Exploration

Čoka Rakita, Serbia

Exploration activities in Serbia continued to focus on an accelerated drilling program at the Čoka Rakita licence, as well as scout drilling at the Dumitru Potok and Frasen targets, with 28,775 metres completed during the third quarter of 2024.

In September 2024, DPM reported results from drilling at the high-grade copper-gold Dumitru Potok and Frasen discoveries, which are located approximately one kilometre north of the Čoka Rakita project. Results at Dumitru Potok confirm the presence of high-grade copper-gold-silver stratabound skarn mineralization, with drilling demonstrating a continuous zone of strong mineralization along a 250-metre corridor open to the north, south and east. At Frasen, drilling returned manto-like carbonate-hosted replacement and skarn copper-gold mineralization at the conglomerate-marble contact over an area of 700 metres by 500 metres at Frasen West, with the potential to extend this zone southeast towards to the stratabound skarn copper-gold mineralization intersected by deep drilling at Čoka Rakita North.

Additionally, drilling has commenced at the Valja Saka and Dumitru West prospects, targeting the stratigraphy in the area known for porphyry and skarn mineralization.

The Company has budgeted between $20 million and $22 million for Serbian exploration activities, with $15.6 million spent in the first nine months of the year.

Chelopech, Bulgaria

DPM remains committed to extending the life of the Chelopech mine through its focused in-mine exploration program which targets resource development. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company completed 8,195 metres of exploration drilling, which included infill and extensional drilling aimed at discovering new mineralization along identified geological trends as well as testing potential exploration targets.

The Company successfully completed the defence of the Geological Report for the Brevene exploration licence at the end of June 2024. DPM expects to obtain the Geological Discovery certificate in the fourth quarter of 2024, which provides a one-year extension of the exploration rights for the Brevene licence to complete additional work targeting a Commercial Discovery.

Ada Tepe, Bulgaria

During the third quarter of 2024, exploration activities at the Ada Tepe camp were focused on target delineation at the Krumovitsa exploration licence, including systematic geological mapping, geophysical surveys, stream sediments, soil and rock sampling, scout drilling and 3D modelling and interpretation.

A scout drilling campaign is ongoing at the Krumovitsa licence with a total of 5,169 meters of drilling completed during the quarter. At the Kupel prospect, additional drilling is ongoing to delineate the extension of a conceptually modelled vein structure.

Permitting at the Kara Tepe prospect, which is located on the Chiriite exploration licence, is ongoing and drilling is planned to start in November 2024, focused on skarn/carbonate replacement gold targets.

2024 Guidance and Three-year Outlook

With solid operating performance from the Chelopech and Ada Tepe mines in the first nine months of 2024, DPM is on track to meet its 2024 guidance for both mining operations, including expected gold production of 245,000 to 285,000 ounces, copper production of 29 to 34 million pounds, and an all-in sustaining cost of $790 to $930 per ounce of gold sold.

Tsumeb Disposition

On August 30, 2024, the Company announced the closing of the sale of the Tsumeb smelter to a subsidiary of Sinomine Resource Group Co. Ltd. (“Sinomine”) for a net cash consideration received of $15.9 million, subject to normal post-closing adjustments.

Short-Term Tolling Arrangement

In July 2024, IXM S.A. (“IXM”) elected to terminate the existing tolling agreement it had with Tsumeb (the “IXM Tolling Agreement”) as a result of Tsumeb's pending change of control. Consequently, DPM agreed to step into IXM's position for a period ending four months following closing of the sale (the “Financing Period”).

Pursuant to the IXM Tolling Agreement, the cash value of all unprocessed concentrates and contractual secondary materials owed by Tsumeb to IXM became due and payable as a result of the termination of the agreement. On August 29, 2024, Tsumeb settled the estimated cash value with IXM and simultaneously, DPM purchased this inventory from Tsumeb for a total cost of $61.9 million paid in cash. In addition, Tsumeb transferred to DPM the metal units under the estimated metal recoverable as at August 29, 2024 for a non-cash value of $16.7 million, for which DPM expects to recover the cash value through the future sale of blister to IXM and/or through the buyback of the inventory by Sinomine at the end of the Financing Period.

On August 29, 2024, DPM also entered into the DPM Tolling Agreement on substantially the same commercial terms as the IXM Tolling Agreement for the Financing Period. Pursuant to the DPM Tolling Agreement, DPM will purchase new-metal bearing materials and sell the copper blister produced by Tsumeb until the end of the DPM Tolling Agreement, at which time Sinomine is contractually obligated to pay DPM for all DPM owned inventories.

DPM does not expect that this tolling arrangement will have a significant impact on its profit or loss during the Financing Period as the inventory purchases and the corresponding blister sales are mostly contracted at the same fixed prices with IXM.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial measures referred to in this news release are not measures recognized under IFRS and are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures or ratios. These measures have no standardized meanings under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The definitions established and calculations performed by DPM are based on management’s reasonable judgment and are consistently applied. These measures are used by management and investors to assist with assessing the Company’s performance, including its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its return objectives and support its investing activities and debt service obligations. In addition, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors uses certain of these measures, together with other measures, to set incentive compensation goals and assess performance. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, together with other financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS, are considered to be important factors that assist investors in assessing the Company’s performance.

Cash Cost and All-in Sustaining Cost Measures

Mine cash cost; mine cash cost of sales; and all-in sustaining cost are non-GAAP financial measures. Cash cost per tonne of ore processed; cash cost per ounce of gold sold; and all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold are non-GAAP ratios. These measures capture the important components of the Company’s production and related costs. Management and investors utilize these metrics as an important tool to monitor cost performance at the Company’s operations. In addition, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors uses certain of these measures, together with other measures, to set incentive compensation goals and assess performance.

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted basic earnings per share

Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure and adjusted basic earnings per share is a non-GAAP ratio used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Presenting these measures from period to period helps management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods.

Adjusted net earnings are defined as net earnings, adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the underlying operations of the Company, including:

• impairment charges or reversals thereof;
• unrealized and realized gains or losses related to investments carried at fair value;
• significant tax adjustments not related to current period earnings; and
• non-recurring or unusual income or expenses that are either not related to the Company’s operating segments or unlikely to occur on a regular basis.

The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings to net earnings:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company’s operating segments. Presenting these measures from period to period helps management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods. In addition, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors uses adjusted EBITDA, together with other measures, to set incentive compensation goals and assess performance.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the following from earnings before income taxes:

• depreciation and amortization;
• interest income;
• finance cost;
• impairment charges or reversals thereof;
• unrealized and realized gains or losses related to investments carried at fair value; and
• non-recurring or unusual income or expenses that are either not related to the Company’s operating segments or unlikely to occur on a regular basis.

Cash provided from operating activities, before changes in working capital

Cash provided from operating activities, before changes in working capital, is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash provided from operating activities excluding changes in working capital as set out in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. This measure is used by the Company and investors to measure the cash flow generated by the Company’s operating segments prior to any changes in working capital, which at times can distort performance.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash provided from operating activities, before changes in working capital which includes changes in share-based compensation liabilities, less cash outlays for sustaining capital expenditures, mandatory principal repayments and interest payments related to debt and leases. This measure is used by the Company and investors to measure the cash flow available to fund growth capital expenditures, dividends and share repurchases.

Average realized metal prices

Average realized gold and copper prices are non-GAAP ratios used by management and investors to highlight the price actually realized by the Company relative to the average market price, which can differ due to the timing of sales, hedging and other factors.

Average realized gold and copper prices represent the average per unit price recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings (loss) prior to any deductions for treatment charges, refining charges, penalties, freight and final settlements to adjust for any differences relative to the provisional invoice.
