TRX Gold Reports First Quarter 2026 Results

TORONTO, Jan. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TRX Gold Corporation (TSX:TRX) (NYSE:TRX) (the “Company” or “TRX Gold”) reported its results for the first quarter of 2026 (“Q1 2026”) for the three months ended November 30, 2025. Financial results are available on the Company’s website at www.TRXgold.com. Unless otherwise noted, all references to currency in this press release refer to US dollars.

TRX Gold’s CEO, Stephen Mullowney commented: “In Q1, we once again delivered record results, in line with guidance shared last quarter, pouring a record 6,597 ounces of gold and selling 6,492 ounces of gold at an average realized price of $3,860 per ounce, generating revenue of $25.1 million, gross profit of $14.2 million (57% margin) and EBITDA¹ of $13.2 million (53% margin). The strong cash flow in a record gold price environment has enabled us to meaningfully reinvest in TRX Gold’s growth. During the quarter, we strengthened our working capital position, advanced plans to upgrade and expand our processing plant to improve our production profile, and increased investment in exploration to further delineate resources at Buckreef Gold. The Company is entering a new phase of growth, with improving production scale, stronger margins and a growing resource base. We are very encouraged by the progress and excited about the year ahead.”

Key highlights for Q1 2026 include:

• Record Production, Revenue, and EBITDA: During Q1 2026, Buckreef Gold poured a record 6,597 ounces of gold and sold 6,492 ounces of gold at a record average realized price¹ of $3,860 per ounce, recognizing revenue of $25.1 million, gross profit of $14.2 million, adjusted net income¹ of $7.7 million, operating cash flow of $4.0 million and EBITDA¹ of $13.2 million, all of which reflect significant increases compared to the prior year comparative period, demonstrating the Company’s leverage to record gold prices during Q1 2026. The Company remains on track to achieve its fiscal 2026 production guidance of 25,000 – 30,000 ounces of gold at a total average cash cost of $1,400 – $1,600 per ounce at Buckreef Gold.
• Process Plant Expansion and Upgrades Progressing: During Q1 2026, the Company announced it has begun executing on a larger processing facility than was initially contemplated in the PEA, consisting of a 3,000+ tpd processing circuit for sulphide material as well as a 1,000 tpd processing circuit for oxide and transition material, and tailings retreatment, while also being capable of processing sulphide material. The newly designed processing plant expansion is now expected to produce average annual gold production in excess of the 62,000 ounces of gold published in the PEA and is expected to be financed from internally generated cashflow over the next 18-24 months. During Q1 2026 the Company made progress on upgrades to the 2,000 tpd plant and the expansion to a 3,000+ tpd processing plant, including finalization of procurement and accelerated manufacturing for several key components, including the pre-leach thickener, upgraded agitators & interstage screens, Aachen reactor, oxygen plant, ADR plant and new gold room, and apron feeder & belt magnet. The plant upgrades are scheduled for completion in fiscal 2026 and are expected to boost plant reliability and performance.
• Continued to Strengthen Working Capital and Expand Stockpile Inventory on ROM Pad: During Q1 2026, the Company continued to strengthen its working capital position through increased production, organically generated cashflow, improved liquidity and an increase in stockpile inventory. As a result, the Company’s current ratio has improved from approximately 1.3 at August 31, 2025 to approximately 1.7 at November 30, 2025, after adjusting for non-cash liabilities. During Q1 2026, the Company continued to invest in mine development, mill optimizations, and run of mine (ROM) stockpile inventory. The ROM stockpile has grown from approximately 15,162 ounces of contained gold at August 31, 2025, to an estimated 19,698 ounces of contained gold as at November 30, 2025. Subsequent to Q1 2026, the ROM pad stockpile has increased further to an estimated 22,891 ounces of contained gold, an increase of 3,193 ounces compared to November 30, 2025, as the Company continued to access higher grade ore blocks in the pit and processed a higher proportion of high grade mined material.
• Exploration Plans Advancing: During Q1 2026, the Company began the first phase of the fiscal 2026 exploration program by completing a detailed 810 line-kilometer ground magnetic survey in October 2025. This high-resolution geophysical survey is designed to map subsurface magnetic variations across the tenement area, helping to identify structural features, lithological contacts, and potential mineralized zones with the goal of generating new drilling targets. A final geological interpretation is expected in fiscal Q2 2026.
• Metallurgical Testwork Underway: During Q1 2026, the Company focused on metallurgical testwork programs including (i) gold deportment testing across various geo-metallurgical domains within the Buckreef Main Zone, (ii) flotation and concentrate leach optimization testwork, and (iii) SAG and Ball Mill Circuit Design, as part of its current flowsheet optimization and future expanded flowsheet development. Testwork was completed in the areas of flotation, fine-grinding and intensive leaching. Flotation testwork continued to deliver positive recoveries of 88% – 91.5% and fine grinding and intensive leaching testwork indicated that positive recoveries of flotation concentrate are achieve at a p80 of 20 microns. Final analysis of these results, along with fine grind concentrate settling rates, are expected to be received in fiscal Q2 2026.
• Strong Health, Safety, and Environmental Track Record: The Company achieved zero lost time injuries (“LTI”) and there were no reportable environmental incidents during Q1 2026.
