CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), were not effective as at December 31, 2025 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that are filed or submitted to Canadian and U.S. securities authorities is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("2013 Framework").

These control deficiencies did not result in a misstatement to the financial statements; however, when aggregated, could impact the Company’s ability to maintain a system of effective internal control.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act (“ICFR”). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including operational controls and procedures for non-financial disclosures, are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting in accordance with IFRS.

Management, with the participation of the Company’s CEO and CFO, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR as of December 31, 2025. Management based its assessment on criteria established 2013 Framework. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s ICFR was not effective as of December 31, 2025 due to the material weaknesses described below. A company’s ICFR cannot be considered effective if one or more material weaknesses exists.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies (when aggregated), in ICFR, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We identified the following material weaknesses:

The Company did not design and maintain effective information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the areas of: (1) user access governance, including privileged access management and segregation of duties, (2) information technology (IT) operations, logging and monitoring, and (3) change management and production safeguards over IT systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes. As a result, certain related process-level automated and manual controls that are dependent on the completeness and accuracy of information derived from the affected information systems were also ineffective because these controls were dependent on data processed by such systems.

The Company did not effectively design and operate process control activities for certain business processes, specifically: asset retirement obligations, income taxes, acquisition accounting, period-end financial reporting, depletion of mining interests, procure-to-pay, and contract liabilities. These controls were not sufficiently designed or did not operate effectively because we lacked personnel with the necessary accounting knowledge, experience and capacity throughout the fiscal period.

In 2025, the Company underwent a period of significant transformation and experienced rapid changes in its business, which led to challenges in allocating sufficient resources to support ICFR. The evolution of the business, combined with limited financial resources, meant that the Company was unable to fully staff personnel dedicated to executing internal control functions. As a result, certain controls were not consistently designed and executed for a sufficient period of time to test, were not consistently performed in a timely manner, or did not have sufficient documentation to evidence the execution of the controls. Further, the Company’s risk assessment process did not identify the changes in the business as a risk that could impact its ICFR.

The material weaknesses identified above did not result in any material misstatements or material adjustments in our financial statements or disclosures, other than the revision in relation to contract liabilities. However, if not remediated, they could result in a material misstatement of the Company’s accounts or disclosures that would not be prevented or detected.

Our management concluded that the consolidated financial statements, present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB.

Remediation Plan

Our management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. In response to the identified material weaknesses discussed above, management plans to take comprehensive action to remediate the material weaknesses in ICFR.

Remediation plans include: (i) Onboarding of additional experienced personnel to support and strengthen relevant control processes; (ii) providing ongoing training to control owners throughout the organization to reinforce the importance of roles, responsibilities, and procedures in the ICFR environment; (iii) strengthening communication channels between operational and finance functions to support the timeliness and accuracy of data provided to the financial reporting teams; and (iv) reevaluating the design and implementation of IT general controls, specifically with regard to user access management, change management, and system logging and monitoring capabilities. These activities will be implemented in 2026.

We believe that these actions, when fully implemented, will remediate the identified material weaknesses. The weaknesses will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Until fully remediated, these material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. As we continue to evaluate and improve the applicable controls, management may determine to take additional measures to modify the remediation plan described above.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and has expressed their opinion in their report included with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as disclosed above, during the period covered by this Annual Report, no significant changes occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is responsible for the Company’s corporate governance policies and has a separately designated standing Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, Audit Committee, and Sustainability & Technical Committee. The Board has determined that all of the members of the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee and Audit Committee are independent, based on the criteria for independence prescribed by section 803A of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) and Section 805(c) of the Company Guide, as applicable.

Compensation & Corporate Governance Committee

The Compensation & Corporate Governance Committee (the “CCG Committee”) assists the Board in overseeing certain compensation and succession planning matters as well as fulfilling the corporate governance and director nominating responsibilities of the Company. The CCG Committee is composed of: Peter Goudie (Chair), Shirley In’t Veld, and Scott Hand, each of whom is “independent” pursuant to Section 803A and 805(c) of the Company Guide. Each of the members of the CCG Committee has direct experience in the management and administration of compensation matters in their role as an executive officer or a board member. This experience has involved the planning and development of such programs and an analysis of competitive trends in compensation and pay for performance practices. Collectively, the attributes and experiences of the members ensure that the CCG Committee will function effectively in reviewing, assessing and recommending to the Board appropriate compensation policies and practices for the Company.

The CCG Committee has the responsibility of maintaining awareness of competitive compensation practices and of reviewing and reporting to the Board, on at least an annual basis, recommendations on compensation packages for the executive officers and directors of the Company. The CCG Committee generally assumes responsibility for assisting the Board in respect of compensation policies for the Company, and in conjunction with the CEO, assessing the performance of the officers of the Company in fulfilling their responsibilities and meeting business objectives. The CCG Committee, following input from the Board, also annually assesses the performance of the CEO. The Company’s CEO cannot be present during the CCG Committee’s deliberations or vote.

The CCG Committee’s responsibilities include a review of the attainment of the performance targets established for the payout, if any, of the annual cash bonus awards for the current year as well as the proposed bonus targets for the next following year including the selection of the performance criteria, the establishment of the performance targets, the participants in the executive incentive bonus programs, the percentage of a participants salary subject to an award and the establishment of individual and corporate objectives. The end-of-year meeting of the CCG Committee may also include a review and recommendation to the Board of proposed changes to base salary as well as the proposed grant of long-term incentive awards comprised of time-based share unit awards or stock options to acquire the Company’s common shares to eligible participants.

The Company’s CCG Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website at www.americas-gold.com/.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Board has a separately designated standing Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) established for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and audits of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company’s Audit Committee is comprised of Bradley Kipp (Chair), Meri Verli and Gordon Pridham, each of whom the Board has determined is independent under Section 803A of the Company Guide and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act..

The Board has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate, meaning each such member has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company’s Board has determined that each of Bradley Kipp, Meri Verli and Gordon Pridham qualify as a financial expert (as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act), that each are financially sophisticated, as determined in accordance with Section 803B(2)(iii) of the Company Guide, and each are independent (as determined under Exchange Act Rule 10A-3 and Section 803A of the Company Guide).

The SEC has indicated that the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make such person an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability on such person that are greater than those imposed on members of the audit committee and the board of directors who do not carry this designation or identification, or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED BY

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services not prohibited by law to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors. Non-audit services that are prohibited to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors may not be pre-approved. In addition, prior to the granting of any pre-approval, the Audit Committee must be satisfied that the performance of the services in question will not compromise the independence of the independent auditors. All non-audit services performed by the Company’s auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee of the Company. No non-audit services were approved pursuant to the de minimis exemption to the pre-approval requirement set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.

INTERACTIVE DATA FILE

An interactive data file for the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is filed herewith.

NYSE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”). Section 110 of the Company Guide permits the NYSE American to consider the laws, customs and practices of foreign issuers in permitting deviations from certain NYSE American listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from certain NYSE American listing criteria based on these considerations. A company seeking relief under these provisions is required to provide written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by home country law. A description of the significant ways in which the Company’s governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. domestic companies pursuant to the Company Guide is set forth below.

Quorum for Shareholders’ Meetings. Section 123 of the Company Guide recommends that a listed company’s bylaws provide for a quorum of not less than 33 1/3 percent of such company’s shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders. The Company’s quorum requirements, as set forth in its by-laws, provide that two persons present and each holding or representing by proxy at least one issued share of the Company shall be a quorum of any meeting of shareholders for the choice of a chair of the meeting and for the adjournment of the meeting to a fixed time and place but may not transact any other business; for all other purposes a quorum for any meeting shall be persons present not being less than two in number and holding or representing by proxy not less than 10% of the total number of the issued shares of the Company for the time being enjoying voting rights at such meeting.

Proxy Delivery. The Company Guide requires the solicitation of proxies and delivery of proxy statements for all shareholder meetings of a listed company, and requires that these proxies be solicited pursuant to a proxy statement that conforms to SEC proxy rules. The Company is a “foreign private issuer” under Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act, and the equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from the proxy rules set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company solicits proxies in accordance with applicable rules and regulations in Canada.

Shareholder Approval of Certain Transactions. The Company Guide provides that shareholder approval is required for certain types of securities issuances, including in connection with a transaction (other than public offerings for cash or in certain other cases of financings for cash) where the present or potential issuance of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, could result in an increase in outstanding common shares of 20% or more. The Company complies with the applicable rules and regulations for shareholder approval in Canada.

The foregoing is consistent with the laws, customs and practices in Canada. In addition, the Company may from time-to-time seek relief from the NYSE American corporate governance requirements on specific transactions under Section 110 of the Company Guide by providing written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by the Company’s home country law, in which case, the Company shall make the disclosure of such transactions available on the Company’s website at www.americas-gold.com/. Information contained on the Company’s website is not part of this Annual Report.

MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE

The information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is included in Exhibit 99.8 to the Annual Report.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS THAT PREVENT INSPECTIONS

Not applicable.

RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION

The Company has adopted a compensation recovery policy effective October 2, 2023 (referred to as the “Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy”) as required by NYSE American listing rules and pursuant to Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act. The Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy is filed as Exhibit 97.1 to this Form 40-F.
