Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Company Overview

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation ~~(formerly known as Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corporation (“MUDS”))~~ and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hycroft”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “it”, or “HYMC”) is a U.S.-based gold and silver company that is focused on exploring and developing the Hycroft Mine in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner. The Hycroft Mine is located in the State of Nevada and the Company’s corporate office is located in Winnemucca, Nevada.

The Company restarted pre-commercial scale open pit mining operations at the Hycroft Mine during the second quarter of 2019 and began producing and selling gold and silver during the third quarter of 2019. The Company operated the Hycroft Mine until November 2021, when it discontinued active mining operations as a result of the then-current and expected ongoing cost pressures for many of the reagents and consumables used at the Hycroft Mine and to further determine the most effective processing method for the sulfide ore. In March 2023, the Company, along with its third-party consultants, completed and filed the Hycroft Property Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary Humboldt and Pershing Counties, Nevada (“2023 Hycroft TRS”) that included a mineral resource estimate utilizing a pressure oxidation (“POX”) process for sulfide mineralization and heap leaching process for oxide and transition mineralization. The Company will continue to build on the work and investigate opportunities identified through progressing the technical and data analyses leading up to the 2023 Hycroft TRS.

In March 2022, the Company completed an equity private placement and an at-the-market public offering program (“ATM Program”) that raised gross proceeds of $194.4 million before issuance costs. The Company has used and will continue to use a portion of the proceeds from these equity offerings to conduct additional exploration, with a focus on higher-grade opportunities identified during 2021 exploration drilling, and a systematic approach to develop a better understanding of the Hycroft Mine deposit, including potential feeder systems.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) of the Company 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, 2022 (the “2022 Audited Financial Statements”), filed as a part of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in the 2022 Audited Financial Statements, with updates discussed below. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Financial Statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed processing of gold and silver ore previously placed on leach pads prior to ceasing mining operations in November 2021. As a result, the Company did not generate Revenues or incur Cost of sales during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2023, the Company began reporting amounts for Mine site period costs and Depreciation and amortization as Operating expenses as this presentation aligns with the manner in which the business is currently viewed and managed while the Company conducts activities for developing the Hycroft Mine and recommencing mining operations.

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 lives of long-lived assets; future mining and processing plans; environmental reclamation and closure costs and timing; deferred taxes and related valuation allowances; estimates of the fair value of liability classified warrants; 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.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes the way entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2023, with no material impact on its Financial Statements or the related disclosures, as all outstanding Accounts receivable have been collected.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses; Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging; and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASU 2019-04”). ASU 2019-04 clarifies certain aspects of accounting for credit losses, hedging activities, and financial instruments. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2019-04 as of January 1, 2023, with no impact on its Financial Statements or the related disclosures, as all outstanding Accounts receivable have been collected, and as such, there is no need to assess allowance for doubtful accounts.

In March 2020, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform and was effective for all entities upon issuance on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, defers the expiration date of Topic 848 to December 31, 2024 to realign with the revised cessation date for LIBOR. The guidance permits a company to elect certain optional expedients and exceptions when affected by the changes in reference rate reform. As of July 1, 2023, the Company amended the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2022, by and between the Company and Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP, Sprott Resource Lending Corp., and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors (“Second A&R Agreement”), to replace LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) by entering into the Second Amendment to Second A&R Agreement (“Second Amendment to Second A&R Agreement”). The Company has elected to adopt the optional expedients, which allow for the update from LIBOR to SOFR in the Second A&R Agreement to be accounted for as a modification rather than an extinguishment. The Company does not expect any further impact to the Financial Statements as the Second A&R Agreement is the only debt instrument that references LIBOR.

New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). For emerging growth companies, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. As the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company, the Company plans to take advantage of the deferred effective date afforded to emerging growth companies. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this update will have on its Financial Statements and related disclosures.

The 5-Year Private Warrants cannot be redeemed and can be exercised on a cashless basis if the 5-Year Private Warrants are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the 5-Year Private Warrants are transferred to someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, such warrants become redeemable by the Company under substantially the same terms as the 5-Year Public Warrants. Since the original issue of private warrants, transfers from 5-Year Private Warrants totaled ~~7,653,976,~~9,272,909, including ~~6,540,491~~8,159,424 during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and therefore became classified as 5-Year Public Warrants.

(1)See Note 13 – Warrant Liabilities for additional details regarding transfers from 5-Year Private Warrants.

As discussed above, pursuant to the Private Placement Offering, the Company issued 46,816,480 Warrants with an exercise price of $1.068 per Warrant Share that expire five years from the date of issuance. The Warrants are deemed freestanding, equity-linked financial ~~instructions~~instruments that do not require liability classification under ASC Topic 480-10 Overall Debt because: (1) they are not mandatory redeemable shares; (2) they do not obligate the Company to buy back shares; and (3) they are not settled in a variable number of shares. As a result, the Company allocated the gross proceeds of $55.9 million from the Private Placement Offering between the Warrants and common stock as of the closing date of March 15, 2022. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the Warrants upon the issuance date using the following assumptions:


	March 15, 2022
Expected term (years)	5
Risk-free interest rate	2.1	%
Expected volatility	118.4	%
Expected dividend yield	—

16. Stock-Based Compensation

HYMC 2020 Performance and Incentive Pay Plan (“PIPP”)

On June 2, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the PIPP that increased the number of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance by 12.0 million shares of common stock. As a result, 14,508,002 shares are authorized for issuance under the PIPP. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, all awards granted under the PIPP were in the form of restricted stock units to employees, directors, or consultants of the Company. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, there were ~~4,651,562~~5,135,882 shares available for issuance under the PIPP.

For restricted stock units granted prior to August 2020, a price per share was not determined upon the grant date. The number of shares of common stock of the Company to be issued upon vesting was calculated on the vesting date that was either the second or third anniversary of the date of the grant or the annual date the compensation committee determined the achievement of the corporate performance targets. Such unvested restricted stock unit awards were included in Other liabilities until each vesting date when the amount was transferred to Additional paid-in capital. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no remaining restricted stock unit grants outstanding required to be accounted for as Other liabilities. Prior to each vesting date, the Company estimated the number of shares of common stock to be issued upon vesting using the closing share price of its common stock on the last day of each reporting period as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

17. Income Taxes

The Company’s anticipated annual tax rate is impacted primarily by the amount of taxable income associated with each jurisdiction in which its income is subject to income tax and permanent differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Company incurred no net income tax expense or benefit for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022. The effective tax rate for both the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 was Nil. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate during each period primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance established to offset net deferred tax assets.

20. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring fair value measurements

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands).

Hierarchy
Level June 30,
2023 December 31,
2022
5-Year Private Warrants 2 $ 59 $ 786


	Hierarchy Level	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
5-Year Private Warrants	2	$	21	$	786

The 5-Year Private Warrants are valued using a Black-Scholes model that requires a variety of inputs including the Company's stock price, the strike price of the 5-Year Private Warrants, the risk-free rate, and the implied volatility. As the terms of the 5-Year Private Warrants are identical to the terms of the 5-Year Public Warrants except that the 5-Year Private Warrants,

~~Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

while held by certain holders or their permitted transferees, are precluded from mandatory redemption and are entitled to be ~~exercise~~exercised on a “cashless basis” at the holder’s election, the implied volatility used in the Black-Scholes model is calculated using a Monte-Carlo model of the 5-Year Public Warrants that factors in the restrictive redemption and cashless exercise features of the 5-Year Private Warrants. The Company updates the fair value calculation on at least a quarterly basis, or more frequently if changes in circumstances and assumptions indicate a change from the existing carrying value.

Items disclosed at fair value

Debt, net

The Sprott Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes are privately held and, as such, there is no public market or trading information available for such debt instruments. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s debt instruments was ~~$135.2~~$118.6 million and $130.7 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of ~~$139.6~~$141.7 million and $134.7 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of the principal of the Company’s debt instruments, including capitalized interest, was estimated using a market approach in which pricing information for publicly traded, non-convertible debt instruments with speculative ratings were analyzed to derive a mean trading multiple to apply to the ~~June~~September 30, 2023 balances.

21. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

22. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal proceedings

From time to time the Company may be involved in various legal actions related to our business, some of which are class action lawsuits. The Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that contingencies related to any pending or threatened legal matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ~~Unaudited Condensed Consolidated~~ Financial Statements, although a contingency could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for a particular period depending on its results of operations and cash flows for such period. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have a material adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

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~~Complaints 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 and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 with respect to litigation or loss contingencies.

Insurance

The Company has deductible-based insurance policies for certain losses related to general liability, workers’ compensation, automobile coverage, and ~~automobile coverage.~~directors and officers. 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 ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of a net smelter royalty arrangement and a net profit royalty arrangement.

Crofoot Royalty

A portion of the Hycroft Mine is subject to a 4% net profit royalty be paid to the previous owner of certain patented and unpatented mining claims (“Crofoot Royalty”). The mining lease also requires an annual advance payment of $120,000 every year mining occurs on the leased claims. All advance annual payments are credited against the future payments due under the 4% net profit royalty. An additional payment of $120,000 is required for each year total tons mined on the leased claims exceeds 5.0 million tons. As the Company ceased mining operations in November 2021, the Company was not required to pay the annual advance payment of $120,000 in 2022 or 2023. The total payments due under the mining lease are capped at $7.6 million, of which the Company has paid or accrued ~~$3.1~~$3.3 million and included $0.6 million in Prepaids in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023.

Net smelter royalty

Pursuant to the Sprott Royalty Agreement 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. 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 both ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated net present value of the Company’s net smelter royalty was $146.7 million. The net present value of the Company’s net smelter royalty 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.

23. Related Party ~~Transaction~~Transactions

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Ausenco Engineering South USA, Inc. (“Ausenco”) and AMC were considered related parties. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer is currently a non-executive director for Ausenco’s parent company Board of Directors.

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 ~~July 25,~~October 30, 2023, provides information ~~that~~ 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 and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 (the “Financial Statements”) and the notes thereto (the “Notes”) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, as well as our other reports filed with the SEC from time to time, including, but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 and development company that owns the Hycroft Mine in Nevada, USA. We are focused on exploring the Hycroft Mine’s mining claims comprising approximately 64,085 acres, developing the Hycroft Mine in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner and building a multi-asset mining company. We ceased mining activities in November 2021, and completed processing of gold and silver ore previously placed on leach pads as of December 31, 2022. We do not expect to generate revenues from gold and silver sales until after further developing the Hycroft Mine and recommencing mining and processing operations.

Health and Safety

We believe ~~that~~ 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 inspection, 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 ~~first half~~nine months of 2023 and achieved one million workhours without a lost time incident asin the second quarter of ~~June 30,~~ 2023. 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 and significantly below pre-2021 historical levels experienced at the Hycroft Mine. During the ~~first half~~nine months of 2023, we continued our critical focus on safety, including allocating personnel, resources, workforce time, and communications to operate safely. These actions contributed to maintaining our TRIFR of Nil (0.00) at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We will continue to evolve our safety efforts ~~to reach the level of safety we expect and need~~as needed to keep our workforce, contractors, and visitors safe.

Executive Summary

During the ~~second~~third quarter of 2023, we ~~initiated~~continued Phase 2 of the 2022-2023 exploration drill program, ~~advanced~~completed portions of the metallurgical and variability test work, ~~that is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2023,~~ and continued to analyze drill assay data and information received during Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the 2022-2023 exploration drill program involving reverse circulation (“RC”) and core drilling that began in the third quarter of 2022. In March 2023, the Company completed the Hycroft Property Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary (“2023 Hycroft ~~TRS using~~TRS”) utilizing a conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation circuit that generates a concentrate to be fed to a pressure oxidation (“POX”) autoclave facility commonly used for refractory gold ores.

Recent Developments

2022-2023 exploration drill program

In July 2022, the Company launched its 2022-2023 exploration drill program, which is the largest exploration program at the Hycroft Mine in nearly a decade. The 2022-2023 exploration drill program is comprised of RC drilling and core drilling. The overall focus of the 2022-2023 exploration drill program is to improve the understanding of the higher-grade intercepts, ~~identified during~~determine the ~~2021 drill program, better understand the mineralization controls, test exploration targets outside the currently known deposits, and~~sequencing of mine planning, develop opportunities to mine higher-grade ore early in the mine plan enhancing the project’s ~~economics.~~economics, and test exploration targets outside the currently known deposits. To date, results are generally higher grade than reflected in the current model. As part of ~~the~~ Phase 2 drilling in 2023, approximately ~~4,600~~11,100 meters of RC drilling were completed and ~~1,100~~approximately 3,000 meters of core drilling have been completed on targets within the resource area focused on enhancing project ~~economics.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed processing of gold and silver ore previously placed on leach pads prior to ceasing mining operations in 2021. As a result, the Company does not expect to generate revenues from gold and silver sales until after developing the Hycroft Mine ~~and recommencing mining operations.~~

Production costs

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company recognized Nil in Production costs, compared to ~~$3.6~~$8.8 million and ~~$13.2~~$22.0 million, respectively, or ~~$1,848~~$1,827 and ~~$1,961,~~$1,905, per ounce of gold, sold during the same periods of 2022. As the Company did not generate revenue during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company did not have Production costs or Cost of sales. The Company does not expect to incur Production costs related to Cost of sales until after it begins generating revenue, as discussed above.

Mine site period costs

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company recorded ~~$2.8~~$2.7 million and ~~$6.6~~$9.3 million, respectively, of Mine site period costs for costs related to maintaining ~~and operating~~ the Hycroft Mine, including environmental, maintenance and administration costs. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company began reporting amounts for Mine site period costs as Operating Expenses as this presentation aligns with how the business will be viewed and managed until such time that the Company further develops the Hycroft Mine and recommences mining operations.

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, inclusive of depreciation and amortization, the Company recorded ~~$2.6~~$1.4 million and ~~$9.0~~$10.4 million, respectively, of Mine site period costs that were included in Cost of sales. Such period costs were generally the result of costs related to activities at the Hycroft Mine that do not qualify for capitalization to production-related inventories or adjustments to production inventories that were the result of recurring or significant downtime or delays, unusually high levels of repairs, inefficient operations, overuse of processing reagents, inefficient cost-volume structures, or other unusual costs and activities, and cannot be recorded to production-related inventories based on the threshold established by the calculation of the estimated net realizable value per ounce of gold.

Projects, exploration, and development

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Projects, exploration, and development costs totaled ~~$5.3~~$7.2 million and ~~$8.8~~$16.0 million, respectively, compared to ~~$0.2~~$7.0 million and ~~$1.2~~$8.2 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2022. Projects, exploration, and development costs were related to: (i) completing technical studies; (ii) conducting geological studies; (iii) oversight and project management; and (iv) exploration drilling, engineering, and metallurgical activities. The increase of ~~$5.1~~$0.2 million and ~~$7.6~~$7.8 million, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 was the result of ~~the~~ Phase 12 of the Company’s 2022-2023 Exploration Program that was initiated in ~~July 2022. Phase two of the exploration program was initiated in~~ April 2023. ~~There was no comparable exploration drill program during the 2022 period.~~

General and administrative

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, General and administrative expenses totaled ~~$3.7~~$2.8 million and ~~$7.0~~$9.8 million, respectively, compared to ~~$5.2~~$3.0 million and ~~$8.3~~$11.4 million, respectively, during the same period of 2022. The decrease of ~~$1.5~~$0.2 million and ~~$1.3~~$1.6 million, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, was primarily due to bringing legal and accounting services in house, with less reliance on outside contractors.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization was $0.7 million and ~~$1.4~~$2.2 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, compared to ~~$0.6~~$1.0 million and ~~$1.6~~$2.6 million, respectively, during the same periods of 2022. The decrease in total depreciation and amortization costs was largely due to the cessation of depreciation of the test leach pads in July 2022 as they were fully depreciated.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company began reporting amounts for Depreciation and amortization as Operating Expenses as this presentation aligns with how the business will be viewed and managed until such time that the Company further develops the Hycroft Mine and recommences mining operations. Prior to January 1, 2023, Depreciation and amortization was presented as Cost of sales.

Interest expense

As discussed in Note 9 – Debt, Net in the Notes to the Financial Statements, Interest expense totaled ~~$4.6~~$4.7 million and ~~$9.0~~$13.7 million, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, compared to ~~$4.2~~$4.5 million and ~~$9.5~~$14.0 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2022.

The increase of ~~$0.4~~$0.2 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was the result of an increase in the floating interest rate.

The decrease of ~~$0.5~~$0.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was the result of a decrease in ~~the outstanding obligation for the Sprott Credit Agreement as the Company prepaid portions~~amortization of the ~~balance in~~

Interest income

Interest income totaled $2.1 million and ~~$4.1~~$6.2 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2023.~~2023, compared to $0.8 million for both the same periods in 2022. In July 2022, the Company invested a portion of its cash balances in AAAm rated U.S. Government Money Market Funds that are readily convertible to cash. These investments earned the Company $1.5 million and ~~$3.0~~$4.4 million, respectively, in interest during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2023.~~2023, as compared with $0.7 million for both the same periods ended in 2022. In addition, the Company earned $0.4 million and ~~$0.7~~$1.1 million, respectively, on its Restricted cash and $0.2 million and ~~$0.4~~$0.6 million, respectively, from the Equipment Purchase Agreement related to Assets held for sale during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2023. The Company began earning interest on its investment accounts and~~ ~~Restricted cash~~ ~~accounts~~2023, as compared with $0.2 million for both the same periods in ~~July~~ 2022.

Fair value adjustments to warrants

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash gain of ~~$0.1 million~~Nil and $0.2 million, respectively, that was primarily due to a decrease in the underlying trading price of the Company’s common stock.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash gain of ~~$3.7~~$1.1 million, as the market trading values of the publicly listed warrants decreased during the period. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Fair value adjustments to warrantsresulted in a non-cash loss of ~~$1.6~~$0.5 million, as the market trading values of the publicly listed warrants increased during the period.

Income taxes

The Company incurred no net income tax expense or benefit for either the three or ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 or 2022.

For additional details, see Note 17 – Income Taxes in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s Cash and cash equivalents at ~~June~~September 30, 2023, was ~~$117.1~~$106.9 million as compared with $142.0 million at December 31, 2022. As discussed in Note 14 – Stockholders’ Equity in the Notes to the Financial Statements, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $194.4 million in March 2022, before deduction of commissions and expenses, through the following equity financings:

•On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreements with AMC and 2176423 Ontario Limited pursuant to which the Company sold on March 15, 2022 an aggregate of 46,816,480 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at a purchase price of $1.193 per unit for total gross proceeds, before deduction of fees and expenses, of $55.9 million.

•On March 15, 2022, the Company implemented the ATM Program. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold 89,553,584 shares of common stock under the ATM Program and generated aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and offering expenses of approximately $138.6 million.

As the Company completed recovering gold and silver ounces previously placed on the leach pad in 2022, the Company does not expect to generate net positive cash for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on its unrestricted cash and other sources of cash to 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 raising funds through equity and debt financings, 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 ~~not available,~~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

~~Table of Contents~~

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 materials and supplies inventories; (ii) selling uninstalled mills that are not expected to be needed for a future milling operation; and (iii) working with existing debt holders to adjust debt service requirements.

In addition, the Company will continue to evaluate alternatives to raise additional capital necessary to fund the future development of the Hycroft Mine and will continue to explore other strategic initiatives to enhance stockholder value.

Cash and liquidity

The Company has placed substantially all its unrestricted cash in operating and investing accounts with a well-capitalized financial ~~institution,~~institutions, thereby ensuring balances remain readily available. The Company uses AAAm rated U.S. Government Money Market Funds for its unrestricted cash investments. Due to the nature of its operations and the composition of current assets, Cash and cash equivalents, Income tax receivable, and Assets held for sale represent substantially all the liquid assets on hand.

and meet all present and future obligations as they become due with a financial model that uses consensus gold prices discounted by 5.0%. The Subordinated Notes include customary events of default, including those relating to a failure to pay principal or interest, a breach of a covenant, representation or warranty, a cross-default to other indebtedness, and non-compliance with security documents. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its debt agreements.

On March 9, 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Waiver and Amendment”), by and between the Company and Lender.

Pursuant to the terms of the Sprott Credit Agreement, the Company agreed that while any indebtedness is outstanding under the Sprott Credit Agreement or while the credit facility under the Sprott Credit Agreement remains available to the Company, the Company and guarantors under the Sprott Credit Agreement would not undertake certain corporate actions without the Lender’s prior written consent.

On May 24, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposed amendment of the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of no less than 1-for-10 and no more than 1-for-25, with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the terms of the Waiver and Amendment, Lender agreed to waive certain provisions of the Sprott Credit Agreement so that the Company may effectuate the proposed Reverse Stock Split of the Company’s common stock, including amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation necessary to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split. The ~~Reverse Stock Split will not be effectuated unless and until an~~Company notified Nasdaq on October 26, 2023, that the Board of Directors approved filing the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation ~~to effectuate~~in order that the Reverse Stock Split ~~is filed with the Delaware Secretary~~will be effective on November 14, 2023, at a ratio of ~~State. The Board of Directors of the Company also may determine in its discretion~~10 to ~~abandon such an amendment, and not effectuate the Reverse Stock Split.~~1. Except as set forth in the Waiver and Amendment, the Sprott Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of a net profit royalty arrangement and a net smelter royalty arrangement (see Note 22 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Financial Statements).

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 was 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 effected 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 ~~generally accepted accounting principles.~~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 required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’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

~~Table of Contents~~

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 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.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results, performance

Table of Contents

or achievements may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, even if our results, performance, or achievements are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, those results, performance or achievements may not be indicative of results, performance or achievements in subsequent periods.

See Risk Factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as the same may be updated from time to time, and other SEC filings, for more information about these and other risks.

Part II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal actions related to our business, some of which are class action lawsuits. The Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that contingencies related to any pending or threatened legal matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, although a contingency could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for a particular period depending on its results of operations and cash flows for such period. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have a material adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Warrant Holder Litigation

Four pro se actions have been filed asserting claims for breach of contract and declaratory judgment arising from or directly relating to Warrants 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. In sum, in all four actions, 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 in accordance with terms of the Warrant Agreement upon the occurrence of certain business transactions and events, including the May 29, 2020, Business Combination. Two of the lawsuits have been served on the Company. The Company has filed a motion to consolidate the four ~~actions.~~

~~DGCL Section 205 Action~~

~~On April 3, 2023,~~actions, which is pending before the Company filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Court of Chancery”) pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), seeking validation of amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation increasing the authorized shares of Class A common stock of the Company (as further described below).

At a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company held on May 29, 2020 (the “2020 Special Meeting”), a majority of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock, voting as a single class, voted to approve the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which, among other things, increased the authorized shares of the Company’s Class A common stock from 100,000,000 to 400,000,000 (the “First Authorized Share Charter Amendment”). On March 15, 2022, the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Class A common stock delivered to the Company written consents approving an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which increased the authorized shares of the Company’s Class A common stock from 400,000,000 to 1,400,000,000 (the “Second Authorized Share Charter Amendment” and, together with the First Authorized Share Charter Amendment, the “Charter Amendments”).

A recent decision of the Court of Chancery had created uncertainty regarding the validity of the Charter Amendments and whether a separate vote of the majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock would have been required under Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL for the First Authorized Share Charter Amendment. Further, in reliance on the validity of the First Authorized Share Charter Amendment and the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company filed the Second Authorized Share Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

The Company continues to believe that a separate vote of Class A common stock was not required to approve the First Authorized Share Charter Amendment. However, in light of the recent Court of Chancery decision, the Company filed a petition (the “Petition”) in the Court of Chancery pursuant to Section 205 of the DGCL (i) seeking validation of the Charter Amendments to resolve any uncertainty with respect thereto; and (ii) declaring that all shares of Class A common stock, and other securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Class A common stock, issued in reliance on the Charter Amendments are valid and effective (the “Section 205 Action”). Section 205 of the DGCL permits the Court of Chancery, in its

~~Table of Contents~~

~~discretion, to validate potentially defective corporate acts and stock after considering a variety of factors. The Section 205 Action filed by the Company in the Court of Chancery is captioned~~ ~~In re Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation,~~ ~~C.A. No. 2023-0394-LWW (Del. Ch.). The same day the Section 205 Action was filed, the Company also moved that the Court of Chancery’s consideration of the Section 205 Action be expedited.~~

On April 24, 2023, the Court of Chancery held a hearing to consider the merits of the Petition, and granted an order pursuant to Section 205 of the DGCL validating and declaring effective (i) the stockholder vote at the 2020 Special Meeting approving the First Authorized Share Charter Amendment; (ii) the Charter Amendments; and (ii) the shares issued or to be issued in reliance thereon, each as of the date and time of the original issuance of such shares.Court.
