HYCROFT MINING ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

Hycroft Mine Focuses on Core Fundamentals Including Building a Seasoned Team and Establishing a Financially Disciplined Development Approach

DENVER, CO, November 9, 2020 — Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: HYMC) (“Hycroft” or the “Company”), a gold and silver producer operating the Hycroft Mine in the world-class mining region of Northern Nevada, today reported its operating and financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. These results reflect the continued start-up of operations. This press release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-Q as of and for the period ended September 30, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company also announced adjustments to the terms of certain of its outstanding warrants.

Highlights

In the third quarter, the Company focused on safety and building a strong management team with proven capabilities in developing projects and enhancing shareholder value through a disciplined operating and financial approach. Below are some of the accomplishments to date:

◦During the third quarter of 2020, we reported zero lost time accidents and continued to improve the safety program and reportable incidents. Our third quarter total reportable incident frequency rate (“TRIFR”) decreased 41% to 2.37, when compared with the previous quarter, reflecting an intensified focus on safety, additional resource allocation, and improvements to the safety program including a top-down approach to safety engagement.

◦In September 2020, the Company appointed Dr. Diane Garrett as President & CEO and a member of the Board of Directors. Diane is an experienced leader with extensive experience permitting, developing and constructing gold mines. In October 2020, the Company appointed Stan Rideout as Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer and promoted Jeffrey Stieber to Senior Vice President, Finance and Treasury and Mike Eiselein to Vice President & General Manager, further aligning the leadership of the operation with the crucial processing function. Additional strengthening of the leadership team will continue.

◦Operational performance improved during the third quarter of 2020 through: achieving crushing targets averaging 438,000 tons per month by advancing effective maintenance and reliability practices; creating favorable conditions for oxidizing ore on some of the pre-commercial pads through equipment improvements, enhanced operational measures and changes to key operations and technical staffing; and careful management of ounce production profiles by implementing solid process management principles.

◦During the first nine months of 2020, the Hycroft Mine produced 16,699 ounces of gold and 96,881 ounces of silver and sold 16,854 ounces of gold (average realized price $1,735) and 97,954 ounces of silver (average realized price of $18.55).

◦Construction of Phase 1 of the new Hycroft Leach Pad continued during the third quarter. However, due to engineering and design changes and delays in delivery of electrical components and pumping infrastructure, the construction and commissioning completion date is now expected by the end of first quarter of 2021.

◦The Company launched a public offering for up to 7,220,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price

of $10.50 per share. The public offering was subsequently upsized to 8,333,334 units and closed on October 6, 2020 with the underwriters exercising their full overallotment option of 1,250,000 additional units, providing the Company with net proceeds of approximately $83.1 million. Through this offering the Company welcomed the support of 13 new institutional shareholders, as well as the continued support of several of its existing shareholders.

◦The Company also formed an independent Technical Team to support management in ongoing data analysis, developing processing models for future larger-scale sulfide leach operations and incorporating data and results from the pre-commercial leach pads. This team is comprised of John Marsden, a metallurgical and processing consultant with specific expertise in gold and silver extraction; Forte Dynamics, a multi-faceted engineering and consulting firm in open pit mining and heap leach processes and with industry leading expertise on heap leach stacking and modeling; and Hazen Research, a leading research and development laboratory. Together with the mine site’s process team and management teams, this group is tasked with third-party lab testwork and analysis, reviewing chemistry fundamentals of the pre-commercial pads, modeling and optimization of the ore stacking including solutions management systems and oxidation to gold recovery relationships.

Dr. Diane Garrett, President & CEO said, “My primary focus since joining two months ago has been to refocus our attention on a strong safety culture and disciplined operating efficiency. I have worked closely with the team and our consultants to carefully review and analyze our results and future plans, and assessed the organization to identify any gaps so that our approach to the continued development of the mine is sound such that we will have a strong foundation to unlock the substantial value contained in our resources and reserves. Together this team will take a thoughtful, methodical, and well-planned approach to developing the mine and delivering success. It’s the way we will operate, and it is what our stakeholders expect and deserve from us. I am confident we are moving in the right direction and, on behalf of the Hycroft team, I want to thank our shareholders and stakeholders for their continued support as we develop this world class asset.”

Health & Safety

We believe that "the miner is the most important thing to come out of a mine" and we support that belief through our philosophy of "continuous improvement." Our mandatory mine safety and health programs include employee and contractor training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation and program auditing. These programs are essential at all levels to ensure that our employees, contractors, and visitors operate safely.

During the third quarter of 2020, we reported no lost time accidents. However, we did incur one lost time accident in October bringing our year-to-date total reported lost time accidents to four. However, when included with other reportable incidents, at the end of the second quarter of 2020 the Hycroft Mine’s TRIFR, which is one of the metrics we use to assess safety performance, was above industry averages and historical levels experienced at the Hycroft Mine. As a result, during the third quarter of 2020 we redoubled our focus on safety and allocated additional personnel, resources, workforce time, and communications to mine safety which contributed to a reduction in our TRIFR to approximately 2.37 at September 30, 2020, compared to approximately 4.0 at June 30, 2020. We will continue our safety efforts to reach the level of safety we expect and need to keep our workforce, contractors, and visitors safe.

With respect to Covid-19, we continue to reinforce our health and safety policies for employees, contractors, and visitors that follow guidelines published by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). While our operations during the first nine months of 2020 have not been significantly adversely affected, the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance going forward will depend on certain developments, including the duration and continued spread of the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impacts on our employees, vendors, and customers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be fully anticipated or predicted. Since the Hycroft Mine


Hycroft Q3 2020 Financial and Operating Results

represents the entirety of our operations, any COVID-19 outbreak at the mine site could result in an impact to our operations at the Hycroft Mine, which would negatively impact our financial position, operating results, and cash flows. To date, we have not experienced any material disruptions to our supply chain or operations because of COVID-19, but we can provide no assurance that as COVID-19 case spikes continue across the country, including in the vicinity of the Hycroft Mine, that our operations will not be materially affected.

Operations

The following table provides a summary of operating results for the Hycroft Mine, which was restarted in April 2019:

During the second quarter of 2019, we restarted open pit mining operations at the Hycroft Mine, and, during the third quarter of 2019, produced and sold gold and silver which we have continued to do on an approximate weekly basis since restarting. Tons mined, tons crushed, ounces produced, and ounces sold significantly increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year periods as the mine was restarted during that time.


Hycroft Q3 2020 Financial and Operating Results

Revenue of $12.3 million and $31.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was a significant increase over the comparable 2019 periods. The increase was due to the mine operating for the entire period in 2020 whereas in 2019 revenue was first recorded in the third quarter following the operations restart. We also benefited from favorable metals prices, which increased 27% and 15% for gold and 37% and 3% for silver for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the prior year periods

Mining

Each quarter since restarting, tons mined, crushed and placed on the leach pads have generally increased, most notably in the second and third quarters of 2020 following the arrival and commissioning of additional rental mobile mining equipment in the second quarter of 2020 (seven haul trucks and one loader).

The gold grades of ore mined in the first nine months of 2020 were as planned and decreased from the comparable period of 2019 in which existing higher gold grade stockpile ore was mined prior to starting any drilling and blasting. Contractor in-pit drilling and blasting activities continued through the third quarter of 2020, to provide fresh ore feed for the crusher, run of mine hauling, and waste removal in support of the full-year plan.

Crushing

During the first and second quarters of 2020, ore tons crushed averaged approximately 338,000 and 459,000 tons per month, respectively, and normalized at approximately 438,000 tons per month in the third quarter of 2020, which was consistent with our plan. Crusher performance improved in the third quarter due to the development and implementation of effective maintenance and training programs and resulted in internal targets being met for product fraction size and throughput rates. The crushing system is now well positioned for any near-term increase in throughput rates. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we expect our tons crushed will not exceed the amount crushed during the third quarter of 2020. Additionally, based on types of transitional ore encountered during the fourth quarter of 2020, we may determine to route certain transitional ore as run-of-mine material which would result in lower tons crushed than the previous quarter.

Processing

During the third quarter of 2020, we made the following progress on the existing pre-commercial leach pad operations: (1) improved the reagent island including upgrading the agitator system to allow for more soda ash concentration in solution thereby increasing the application rate; (2) technical staffing additions; and (3) improved leach pad data gathering and reporting protocols, all of which we believe position us to continue making progress towards improving future pre-commercial processing and sulfide oxidation results.

During 2020, a majority of the ore placed on the pre-commercial leach pads was transitional ore and, while testing will continue on the transitional material, we have learned over the past few months that there appears to be no additional recovery benefit from applying the oxidation step to this ore. We are performing trade-off analyses now to determine if it is more appropriate to direct transition material to the leach pad as opposed to crushing and oxidizing. During the initial operating years of the mine we will continue to encounter oxide and transitional material as we mine through these ore types to gain access to larger areas of sulfide material, so understanding the optimal return on this material today will be key in our mine planning and sequencing.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we will continue to work on demonstrating our ability to achieve, on a pre-commercial scale, the two-stage, heap oxidation and subsequent leaching of sulfide ores by beginning new pre-commercial oxidation leach pad cells as we expect to mine approximately 200,000 tons of sulfide material prior to completion of the new leach pad.


Hycroft Q3 2020 Financial and Operating Results

Leach Pad Expansion Project

During the third quarter of 2020, significant progress was made on the 4.0 million square foot Phase 1A heap leach pad construction. Due to engineering and design changes and delays in receiving electrical and pumping infrastructure, we now expect the completion of the leach pad to be commissioned by the end of first quarter of 2021. To the extent that we are able, oxide and transition material will be placed on the new pad as the external infrastructure associated with the oxidation process is being completed in the first quarter of 2021.

2020 Outlook

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we expect to mine a comparable number of total tons and ore tons as the third quarter of 2020; however, based on types of transitional ore encountered, we may determine to route certain transitional ore as run-of-mine material which would result in lower tons crushed than the previous quarter. We expect fourth quarter production levels to be consistent with the quarterly averages of the first three quarters of 2020.

Adjustment to Terms of Seller Warrants

On November 9, 2020, the Company issued a notice of adjustments to holders of certain of its outstanding warrants (Nasdaq: HYMCZ) (the “Seller Warrants”) issued by Hycroft Mining Corporation (“Seller”) pursuant to that certain Warrant Agreement, dated October 22, 2015 (the “Seller Warrant Agreement), by and between Seller and Computershare Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, collectively as the initial warrant agent. The Seller Warrant Agreement and the Seller Warrants issued thereunder were assumed by the Company, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC as the successor warrant agent, in connection with the closing of the Company’s business combination on May 29, 2020 between the Company and Seller. In connection with the Company’s recent underwritten public offering of units, each unit consisting of one share of its Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one warrant to purchase one share of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.50 per share, the Company determined that certain adjustments were required to be made to the terms of the Seller Warrants as a result of the issuance by the Company in the public offering of 4,951,388 units to “Restricted Persons” under the Seller Warrant Agreement.

As a result of the adjustments required under the Seller Warrant Agreement, (1) the exercise price of each Seller Warrant decreased from $44.82 per share of Common Stock to $41.26 per share of Common Stock; and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Seller Warrant increased from 0.25234 to 0.27411. Accordingly, as adjusted, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of the 12,721,623 outstanding Seller Warrants increased from 3,210,213 shares to 3,487,168 shares of Common Stock.
