Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Company Overview

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hycroft,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “it,” or “HYMC”) is a U.S.-based gold and silver company dedicated to the safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective exploration and development of the Hycroft Mine, located in the state of Nevada.

The Company restarted pre-commercial scale open pit mining operations at the Hycroft Mine during the second quarter of 2019 and discontinued mining operations in November 2021. In February 2026, the Company, along with its third-party consultants, completed and filed the Hycroft Mine Initial Assessment and Technical Report Summary Nevada, USA (“2026 Hycroft TRS”) that included a mineral resource estimate utilizing a pressure oxidation (“POX”) process for transitional and sulfide mineralization and heap leaching process for oxide mineralization and some transitional mineralization. The Company is focusing on exploration drilling and data analyses, completing technical studies, conducting trade-off studies and alternative analyses for determining the optimal process flow sheet for processing sulfide ores and recovering gold and silver, and maintaining the Hycroft Mine.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these Financial Statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Audited Financial Statements”), filed as a part of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2026. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in the 2025 Audited Financial Statements, with updates discussed below. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in these Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to the useful life of long-lived assets; future mining and processing plans; environmental reclamation and closure costs and timing; and estimates of fair value for long-lived assets, assets held-for-sale, and financial instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, including drilling and assay data that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimate is made. Actual results may differ from amounts estimated in these Financial Statements, and such differences could be material. Accordingly, amounts presented in these Financial Statements may not be indicative of results that may be expected for future periods.

Reclassification of prior year presentation

Certain prior period amounts have been combined for consistency with the current year presentation. These line items were combined to simplify the financial statement presentation, enhancing clarity without altering the total amounts reported in the financial statements. The combination of line items had no effect on the totals reported in the statement of operations, financial position, cash flows or stockholders’ equity.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company’s long-lived assets consist of property, plant, and equipment. We review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Events that may trigger a test for recoverability include, but are not limited to, significant adverse changes to projected revenues, costs, or future operating plans or changes to federal and state regulations (with which we must comply) that may adversely impact our current or future operations. An impairment is determined to exist if the total projected future cash flows

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of a long-lived asset group. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on the excess carrying value of the impaired long-lived asset group over fair value.

Since the Company does not have mineral reserves on which to project revenues or cash flows from its operations in 2025 or beyond, to determine fair value, we utilize a market-based approach considering comparable sales transactions from the past five years and estimates of enterprise value. Based on the comparable sales transactions identified, we estimated a range of values for measured and indicated mineral resources per equivalent ounce of gold. Our estimates of future cash flows from the potential sale of our assets held-for-sale, which is a variable in the model, are based on numerous assumptions that are consistent with or reasonable in relation to transactions occurring in the market and the Company’s history with selling similar assets. Actual future cash flows may be significantly different than the estimates as each is subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company completed its evaluation and determined that there were no new triggering events and that no impairment was necessary.

15. Segment information

In accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has determined that it operates as a single reportable segment. Since the Company discontinued mining operations in November 2021 and has focused on exploration, the Company’s operations are limited and managed by one chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”). The CODM, who has been identified as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for all decisions regarding resource allocation and performance evaluation, which are made on a consolidated basis. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it has one operating and reportable segment. The CODM evaluates exploration and development costs and mine site costs (collectively, “Segment expenses” utilizing the following expense groupings (in thousands).

Legal proceedings

The Company has been named as a defendant in four pro se individual and/or putative class/derivative actions in the Delaware Chancery Court that assert claims for, inter alia, breach of contract, declaratory judgment, equitable fraud and fiduciary breaches (against two company officers) arising from or relating to Warrants and/or shares purportedly held by the plaintiffs. In various forms, they allege that the Company or its predecessor entities breached the Warrant Agreement, dated October 22, 2015, and/or related Amendment Agreement, dated February 26, 2020. Among other things, the plaintiffs allege, by or on behalf of Warrant holders, that the Company or its predecessor(s) breached these agreements by failing to make proper “Mechanical Adjustments” to the Warrants upon the occurrence of certain business transactions and events, including the Recapitalization Transaction. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company filed motions to dismiss in these actions.

Table of Contents

HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The motions to dismiss are currently in the briefing phase and remain pending as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company expenses legal fees and other costs associated with legal proceedings as incurred. The Company assessed, in conjunction with its legal counsel, the need to record a liability related to the Complaint and determined that a loss was not probable nor reasonably estimable. Litigation accruals are recorded when, and if, it is determined that a loss related matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. Material loss contingencies that are reasonably possible of occurrence, if any, are subject to disclosure. No losses have been recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, with respect to litigation or loss contingencies.

Insurance

The Company has deductible-based insurance policies for certain losses related to general liability, workers’ compensation, and automobile coverage. The Company records accruals for contingencies related to its insurance policies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change, or additional information becomes available. Insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured claims using historical loss development factors and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry.

Financial commitments and contingencies not recorded in the Financial Statements

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of a net smelter royalty arrangement. As of December 31, 2025, there was also a net profit royalty arrangement.

Sprott Royalty

Pursuant to the Royalty Agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (CO) Inc. in which the Company received cash consideration in the amount of $30.0 million, the Company granted a perpetual royalty equal to 1.5% of the net smelter returns from the Hycroft Mine, payable monthly (“Sprott Royalty Agreement”). The royalty is accounted for as a deferred gain liability. Net smelter returns for any given month are calculated as Monthly Production multiplied by the Monthly Average Gold Price and the Monthly Average Silver Price, minus Allowable Deductions, as such terms are defined in the Sprott Royalty Agreement. The Company is required to remit royalty payments to the payee free and clear and without any present or future deduction, withholding, charge or levy on account of taxes, except Excluded Taxes as such term is defined in the Sprott Royalty Agreement.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated net present value of the Sprott Royalty Agreement was $146.7 million. The net present value of the Sprott Royalty Agreement was modeled using the following level 3 inputs: (i) market consensus inputs for future gold and silver prices; (ii) a precious metals industry consensus discount rate of 5.0%; and (iii) estimates of the Hycroft Mine’s life-of-mine gold and silver production volumes and timing.

Crofoot Royalty

Until January 2026, a portion of the Hycroft Mine was subject to an agreement that required payment of a 4% net profit royalty on certain patented and unpatented mining claims. The royalty was subject to a maximum of $7.6 million, with $3.3 million satisfied and $4.3 million outstanding as of 2024. In November 2025, the Company reached an agreement to terminate the Crofoot Royalty agreement for $2.5 million, which was accrued as of December 31, 2025 and subsequently paid in Janaury 2026. As of January 2026, the net profit royalty is no longer in effect.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion, which has been prepared based on information available to us as of April 27, 2026, provides information we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated operating results and financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (the “Financial Statements”) and the notes thereto (the “Notes”) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as well as our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from time to time, including, but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Terms not defined herein have the same meaning defined in the Financial Statements and the Notes.

Introduction to the Company

We are a U.S.-based gold and silver exploration-stage issuer that owns the Hycroft Mine in Nevada. Our focus is on exploring the mine’s approximately 64,000 acres of claims and developing the project in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective way. We completed processing the gold and silver ore previously placed on leach pads by the end of December 2022. We do not anticipate significant revenues from gold and silver sales until we complete the necessary technical work and resume mining and processing operations.

Health and Safety

We believe safety is a core value and support that belief through our philosophy of safe work performance. Our mandatory mine safety and health programs include employee engagement and ownership of safety performance, accountability, employee and contractor training, risk management, workplace inspections, emergency response, accident investigation, anti-harassment, and program auditing. This integrated approach is essential to ensure that our employees, contractors, and visitors operate safely.

We reported no lost-time incidents during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and continue to operate in excess of 1.4 million work hours without a lost-time incident. The Hycroft Mine’s total recordable injury frequency rate (“TRIFR”) for the trailing 12 months, which includes other reportable incidents, is one of the metrics we use to assess safety performance, and it is well below industry averages. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we continued our critical focus on safety, including allocating additional personnel, resources, workforce time, and communications to mine safety. These actions contributed to maintaining a TRIFR of 0.00 at both March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. We will continue to evolve our safety efforts as needed to keep our workforce, contractors, and visitors safe.

Executive Summary

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company continued the 2025–2026 Exploration Drill Program on the high-grade silver dominant zones in Brimstone and Vortex, completing more than 9,000 meters of drilling under the program to date, and issued an updated Mineral Resource Technical Report (the “2026 Hycroft TRS”), that was the culmination of the extensive metallurgical and variability test work completed in 2025. The 2026 Hycroft TRS, which was filed February 18, 2026, reflects an updated initial assessment supporting the disclosure of mineral resources at the Hycroft Mine - an approximate 55% increase in measured and indicated mineral resources for both gold and silver mineral resources of 16.4 million ounces and 562.6 million ounces, respectively. It outlines plans to process sulfide and some transition mineralization using a milling and pressure oxidation (“POX”) process, while oxide mineralization and other transitional mineralization will be processed through heap leaching. The Company continued to strengthen its liquidity position with a strong cash position and a debt-free balance sheet.

Recent Developments

Exploration drilling

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company continued drilling under the 2025–2026 Exploration Drill Program, which is focused on expanding the new high-grade silver mineral systems. Approximately 9,255 meters of drilling have been completed on 26 exploration holes in the high-grade silver systems since initiating the Program on August 3, 2025. Drilling in the Brimstone zone is supported by the Induced Polarization (“IP”) geophysics program, which identified a large chargeability anomaly at 400 to 500 meters depth. The first three holes drilled in the IP anomaly were completed in the fourth quarter of 2025, and the results were returned in the first quarter of 2026, extending the mineralized system approximately 150

meters down dip from the high-grade Brimstone deposit. Drilling in 2026 has continued focusing on this target, with assay results expected in the second quarter of 2026. Additionally, the 2025 drilling in Vortex extended high-grade mineralization further west at structural intersections of the Central, Albert, and Wild Rose faults, opening opportunity north and south as well as down dip. The results from the Vortex program show higher than expected grades for both silver and gold, and with better continuity than previously observed in the high-grade Vortex system. The high-grade drill program will continue to focus on this productive structural zone. Additionally, the Company began investigating potential leach opportunities in Bay at the north end of the property in late 2025. The results from this part of the program are also currently pending, with results anticipated to be returned in the second half of 2026. The exploration team also continues to refine the structural framework as supported by drilling and mapping programs into an updated geologic model.

Metallurgical and variability test work

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued an updated Mineral Resource Technical Report. It also advanced with metallurgical work for designing a sulfide milling operation. The Company has been testing composite samples that represent the various material characteristics in the sulfide ore. Crushing, grinding, flotation, pressure oxidation, and leaching work have identified improvements in gold and silver recoveries. The Company’s test work for identifying the optimal inputs and operating parameters is continuing in 2026. Once the Company completes the metallurgical roasting testing, it will conduct trade-off studies using the test results to assess whether roasting technology could offer superior project economics compared to pressure oxidation technology for the Hycroft Mine.

2026 Outlook

Our plan is to continue operating safely and in an environmentally responsible manner while advancing exploration and development activities. Key 2026 priorities include executing the 2025–2026 Drill Program by adding two core drill rigs (four core rigs total) and accelerate exploration drilling to expand the two high-grade silver systems. Additional 2026 activities include assessing the potential for a high-grade underground mining scenario, completing a technical study with economics based on milling and pressure oxidation of sulfide mineralization, advancing the metallurgical test work for roasting sulfide concentrates, assessing the potential restart of mining leachable oxide and transition material, and reviewing district exploration targets to unlock broader mineral resource potential. We plan to continue managing our cash and capital market activities to maintain adequate funding for these priorities and activities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Exploration and development costs totaled $9.7 million, as compared to $3.0 million, for the same period of 2025, primarily due to (i) restricted stock unit Make‑whole Awards of $2.3 million, of which $1.5 million was non-cash, and (ii) the Company expanded drilling under the 2025–2026 Exploration Drill Program, which is focused on expanding the new high-grade silver mineral systems.

Mine site costs

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Mine site costs totaled $5.4 million, as compared to $2.5 million, for the same period of 2025, primarily due to (i) restricted stock unit Make‑whole Awards of $2.5 million, of which $1.6 million was non-cash, and (ii) the ramp up of activity to support the exploration drilling program.

Depreciation and amortization

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $0.4 million, as compared to $0.5 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated and modest capital additions in recent periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s unrestricted cash position at March 31, 2026, was $189.0 million, as compared with $181.7 million at December 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company received cash from the exercise of warrants, and as discussed in Note 9 – Stockholders’ equity in the Notes to the Financial Statements, including net proceeds of $40.7 million from 6,779,910 warrants issued as part of the 2025 Private Placement that were exercised at the warrant exercise price of $6.00 per warrant and net proceeds of $2.8 million from 661,483 warrants issued as part of the 2025 Public Offering that were exercised at the warrant exercise price of $4.20 per warrant.

As the Company ceased mining activities in 2021 and completed recovering gold and silver ounces previously placed on the leach pad in 2022, the Company does not expect to generate net positive cash from operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on its unrestricted cash and other sources of cash to repay debt and fund the business. Historically, the Company has been dependent on various forms of debt and equity financing to fund its business. While the Company has been successful in the past in raising funds through equity and debt financings and restructuring its debt, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet the Company’s needs or on terms acceptable to the Company. If funds are unavailable, the Company may be required to materially change its business plan.

The Company’s future liquidity and capital resources management strategy entails a disciplined approach to monitor the timing and extent of any drilling, metallurgical and mineralogical studies while attempting to remain in a position that allows the Company to respond to changes in the business environment, such as a decrease in metal prices or lower than forecasted future cash flows, and changes in other factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company has undertaken efforts aimed at managing its liquidity and preserving its capital resources by, among other things: (i) monitoring metal prices and the impacts (near-term and future) they have on the business; (ii) ceasing open pit mining operations to reduce net cash outflows; (iii) reducing the size of the workforce to reflect the cessation of mining operations; (iv) controlling working capital and managing discretionary spending; (v) reviewing contractor usage and rental agreements for more economic options, including termination of certain agreements in accordance with their terms; (vi) decreasing Restricted cash balances that collateralize bonds, as available; (vii) planning the timing and amounts of capital expenditures and costs for drilling, metallurgical and technical studies costs at the Hycroft Mine; and (viii) deferring such items that are not expected to benefit our near term operating plans. The Company has undertaken and continues to undertake additional efforts, including: (i) monetizing non-core equipment and excess supplies inventories; (ii) selling uninstalled mills that are not expected to be needed for a future milling operation; and (iii) extinguishing debt.

In addition, the Company will continue to evaluate alternatives to raise additional capital when necessary to fund the future development of the Hycroft Mine and will continue to explore other strategic initiatives to enhance stockholder value. The Company may not be successful with its efforts to raise additional capital.

Cash and liquidity

The Company has placed substantially all its cash in operating and investment accounts with well-capitalized financial institutions, thereby ensuring balances remain readily available. The Company uses AAAm rated U.S. Government Money Market Funds for its cash investments.

(1)The Company is required to pay a perpetual royalty equal to 1.5% of the net smelter returns from the Hycroft Mine (under the Sprott Royalty Agreement), payable monthly, which also includes an additional amount for withholding taxes payable by the royalty holder. Amounts presented above incorporate mineral resource estimates as reported in the 2026 Hycroft TRS.

(2)Mining operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which they are conducted, and we are required, upon cessation of operations, to reclaim and remediate the lands that our operations have disturbed. The estimated undiscounted inflated cash outflows of these remediation and reclamation obligations are reflected here.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company under Item 10(f) of Regulation S-K, quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are not required, and such are omitted from this filing.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published Financial Statements. Internal control over financial reporting is promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effectuated by our Board of Directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.

The Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026, to provide such reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC’s rules and forms.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must consider the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Inherent limitations within a control system include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the

Table of Contents

control. While the design of any system of controls is to provide reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of disclosure controls, such design is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and such assumptions, while reasonable, may not take into account all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be prevented or detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

The Company believes “the miner is the most important asset to come out of a mine,” and it supports this belief through its philosophy of continuous improvement. The Company’s mandated mine safety and health programs include employee and contractor training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation, and program auditing. These programs are a focus for the Company’s leadership and top management and are essential at all levels to ensure the safety of employees, contractors, and visitors. The Company’s goal for these programs is to have zero workplace injuries or occupational illnesses, and it will focus on continuous improvement of its programs and practices to achieve this goal. We are implementing programs and practices to align its safety culture with that goal.

The information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is included in Exhibit 95.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
