Underground development increased by approximately 24% over Q2, nearly tripling the development completed in Q1 2025. The company successfully raised funds through a brokered equity offering and warrant exercises, resulting in zero warrants in their capital structure. Magna Mining Inc (MGMNF) announced its first NI-43101 mineral resource estimate for the Lavac mine, exceeding expectations in terms of grade.
The company is well-funded with a cash balance of $63.1 million as of September 30, 2025, supporting ongoing operations and exploration. Negative Points Unexpected issues, including a failure in the underground compressed air system and power-related delays, resulted in a loss of 11 shifts, impacting production.

Operating cash outflow was $10.8 million, and free cash outflow was $14.4 million, including $4.2 million in capital expenditures.
Average copper equivalent grade in Q3 was below forecast due to delayed access to higher-grade stoves.

Q: Can you provide an update on how the tons are tracking for Q4 and when we should expect 2026 guidance? A: (Jason Jessop, CEO) We are tracking well towards the lower end of tons guidance for Q4.
We still have several weeks to go, but we are on track with a good plan. As for 2026 guidance, it will likely be available in January or early February 2026. Q: Regarding the Lavac restart plan, can you discuss the timing of the update and whether it will include hoisting tons first and then trucking tons up the ramp later? A: (Jason Jessop, CEO) We are currently assessing the hoisting capabilities and aim to start hoisting waste sooner than the completion of the PEA. The PEA will be the foundation for the restart plan. The shaft at Lavac has a capacity of up to 7,000 tons a day, but we expect to hoist between 1,000 to 2,000 tons a day initially.
Q: What is the status of the Levac resource update and the Morrison deposit, and when should we expect the next exploration update? A: (Dave King, SVP Exploration and Geoscience) The Morrison resource update focused on tightly constraining the veins, resulting in a lower tonnage but higher grade resource. We plan to model outside the well-defined veins in 2026. The next exploration update for Levac is expected in December. Story Continues Q: Can you comment on the current focus areas for development and provide details on the total development by month? A: (Jeff Huffman, COO) In Q3, we completed 1,796 feet of development, with a focus on the west side of the ore body and operating development in the main scoping areas.
We have also started smaller scale development in the upper parts of the mine for higher grade opportunities. Q: Could you provide more details on the cost breakdown between production and development costs for the quarter? A: (Scott Gilbert, CFO) Our cost of sales was $19.4 million, and capital development costs were approximately $2.7 million for the quarter.
