HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORPORATION

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 months ended June 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

HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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 (“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.

3. Materials and Supplies Inventories, Net

At both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Materials and supplies inventories, net was $2.8 million. The Company maintains inventory reserves to account for potential losses due to inventory obsolescence, damage, or other factors that could affect the value of its inventory. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s inventory reserves were sufficient, and no further write-down was necessary. The Company will continue to monitor its inventory for turnover and obsolescence and may determine that additional inventory write-downs are required in future periods.

The Company further amended the Equipment Purchase Agreement in January 2023 to permit the buyer to extend the final payment of $12.5 million to June 30, 2023 at an interest rate of 5% per annum on the outstanding balance of the ball mill and SAG mill from January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2023 and 7.5% per annum on any outstanding balance from April 1, 2023 until June 30, 2023. In May 2023, the Company and the buyer agreed to further extend the final payment up to June 30, 2024 for an additional payment of $0.1 million and payments of up to $0.4 million for additional required non-refundable payments of $0.1 million for each $1.0 million of funds raised by buyer through equity or equity-like raises as described in the amendment. The Company will continue to receive interest of 7.5% per annum on the outstanding balance through June 30, 2024. Interest is calculated and paid monthly. The balance outstanding as of June 30, 2023 was $12.4 million and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received $0.2 million and $0.4 million of interest, respectively, which is included in Interest income. The Company is also being reimbursed by the buyer for certain holding costs related to the ball mill, SAG mill, and sub-station transformer. These costs are recorded as an offset to Mine site period costs.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company held title to and risk of loss of the ball mill, SAG mill, and sub-station transformer and, as such, payments received to-date of $1.2 million toward the purchase of these assets have been included in Contract liabilities. See Note 10 – Contract Liabilities for additional details.

9. Debt, Net

Second Amendment to Sprott Credit Agreement

On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “March 2022 Sprott Agreement”) with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), L.P. (the “Lender”), as arranger, with respect to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sprott Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Lender, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors and the other parties thereto. On March 30, 2022, the Company, the guarantors and the Lender entered into the Second A&R Agreement, that: (i) extended the maturity date for the principal obligation under the Sprott Credit Facility by two years, to May 31, 2027; (ii) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the facility in the amount of $10.0 million promptly upon the Company’s receipt of cash proceeds from the Private Placement Offering with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”), a significant stockholder of the Company and 2176423 Ontario Limited, a significant stockholder of the Company and an entity affiliated with Eric Sprott (the “Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment”) (see Note 14 – Stockholders’ Equity for additional details); (iii) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the Sprott Credit Agreement in the amount of $13.9 million (representing 10% of the subsequent issuance of its equity interests consummated on or prior to March 31, 2022) (the “Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments”); and (iv) eliminated the prepayment premiums otherwise payable with respect to the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment, the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments and all future prepayments of principal under the Sprott Credit Facility. In addition, the Company’s obligations: (i) to prepay principal with proceeds of asset sales will be credited/offset by the aggregate amount of Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment and the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments ($23.9 million); and (ii) to maintain a minimum amount of Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the Second A&R Agreement) was increased to $15.0 million. The Company: (i) paid the previously deferred additional interest of $0.5 million; (ii) made the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $10.0 million and paid in-kind a $3.3 million fee in connection with the modification and capitalized it to principal on March 16, 2022; and (iii) made the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $13.9 million on March 30, 2022. The terms of the Additional Interest remained unchanged from the Sprott Credit Agreement. The Company accounted for the Second A&R Agreement as a debt modification as the Second A&R Agreement did not result in debt that was substantially different.

Second Amendment to the Second A&R Agreement

On July 1, 2023, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Second A&R Agreement, by and between the Company, the Lender, Sprott Resource Lending Corp. (“Arranger” and together with the Lender, the “Sprott Parties”), and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors. The Second Amendment to Second A&R Agreement amends the Second A&R Agreement dated March 30, 2022, which in turn amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sprott Credit Agreement”).

The Second Amendment to Second A&R Agreement: (i) corrects a cross-reference error; and (ii) implements a replacement of LIBOR with three-month Term SOFR effective July 1, 2023.

Amendment to the 10% Senior Secured Notes and Note Exchange Agreement

On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the 10% Senior Secured Notes and Note Exchange Agreement (the “Note Amendment”), with (i) certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors; (ii) holders of the 10% Senior Secured Notes (the “Subordinated Notes”), including certain funds affiliated with, or managed by, Mudrick Capital Management, L.P (“Mudrick”), Whitebox Advisors, LLC (“Whitebox”), Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (“Highbridge”), and Aristeia Capital, LLC (collectively, the “Amending Holders”); and (iii) Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as collateral agent. The Note Amendment amends the Note Exchange Agreement dated as of January 13, 2020 (the “Note Exchange Agreement”) and the Subordinated Notes issued thereunder in order to extend the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes from December 1, 2025 to December 1, 2027. The Note Amendment also removed the requirements that a holder receive the consent of the Company and the other holders in order to transfer any Subordinated Note.

5-Year Private Warrants

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, including 6,540,491 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and therefore became classified as 5-Year Public Warrants.

14. Stockholders’ Equity

Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

On March 11, 2022, the Board approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock by 1,000,000,000 to a total of 1,400,000,000 (the “Certificate of Incorporation Amendment”) and directed that the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment be submitted for consideration by the Company’s stockholders. On March 15, 2022, AMC, 2176423 Ontario Limited, and entities affiliated with Mudrick, who together constituted the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock, approved the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment by written consent. The Certificate of Incorporation Amendment became effective upon filing of the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on April 22, 2022, 20 days after the Company commenced distribution of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C to the stockholders of the Company.

Common stock

Private placement offering

On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into subscription agreements with AMC and 2176423 Ontario Limited pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the entities an aggregate of 46,816,480 units at a purchase price per unit of $1.193 with each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), providing for a total purchase price of approximately $55.9 million (the “Private Placement Offering”). The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.068 per Warrant Share and will expire five years after issuance. On March 15, 2022, the Private Placement Offering closed and the Company received gross proceeds of $55.9 million before deducting expenses incurred in connection with therewith. Net proceeds were $53.6 million, after deducting legal and other fees of $2.3 million (including a non-cash $1.8 million financial advisor fee related to the Private Placement Offering).

At-the-market offering

On March 15, 2022, the Company implemented an ATM Program by entering into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Agent”). Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may from time to time through the Agent, acting as sales agent or principal, offer and sell shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having a gross sales price of up to $500.0 million. Shares of common stock sold under the Sales Agreement were issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-257567) that the SEC declared effective on July 13, 2021, including the prospectus, dated July 13, 2021, and the prospectus supplement, dated March 15, 2022. The Company received total gross proceeds, before deducting fees and expenses of the ATM Program, of $138.6 million from the sale of 89,553,584 shares of the Company’s common stock, and approximately $361.4 million of shares of common stock remain available for future issuance under the Sales Agreement. Net proceeds, after deducting commissions and fees of $5.0 million were $133.5 million.

(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 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	—

While the Company is not obligated to sell any of its gold and silver to one customer, the majority of gold and silver sales during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were to two customers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 65.2% and 79.4% of revenue was attributable to sales to one customer, respectively.

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 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 30, 2023, there were 4,651,562 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 30, 2023, 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.

The following table summarizes the Company’s unvested share awards outstanding under the PIPP:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023	2022
Unvested at beginning of year(1)	3,547,153	2,210,911
Granted	4,916,912	2,466,042
Impact of fluctuations in share price(2)	—	(457,084)
Canceled/forfeited	(116,207)	(203,383)
Vested(3)	(1,680,414)	(792,249)
Unvested end of period(1)	6,667,444	3,224,237

(1)As of June 30, 2022 unvested at the beginning of year and unvested end of period includes liability-based awards for which the number of units awarded was not determined until the vesting date. The number of liability-based award units included in this amount are estimated using the market value of the Company’s common shares as of the end of each reporting period.

(2)As of June 30, 2022 the impact of fluctuations in share price represents the difference between liability-based awards estimated as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(3)As of June 30, 2023, 20,768 restricted stock units vested and the corresponding issuance of shares of common stock was deferred as the Company was under a trading blackout as of the date of vesting. The shares of common stock will be issued upon expiration of the trading blackout.

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 months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The effective tax rate for both the three and six months ended June 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.

18. Loss Per Share

The table below summarizes the Company’s basic and diluted loss per share calculations (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Net loss	$	(13,889)	$	(8,982)	$	(27,798)	$	(31,042)
Weighted average shares outstanding
Basic	200,820,986		197,116,341		200,547,312		139,479,103
Diluted	200,820,986		197,116,341		200,547,312		139,479,103
Basic loss per common share	$	(0.07)	$	(0.05)	$	(0.14)	$	(0.22)
Diluted loss per common share	$	(0.07)	$	(0.05)	$	(0.14)	$	(0.22)

    

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Due to the Company’s net loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, there was no dilutive effect of common stock equivalents because the effects of such would have been anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the shares excluded from the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, as the impact would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):

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

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,

20

HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORPORATION

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 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 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s debt instruments was $135.2 million and $130.7 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $139.6 million and $134.7 million as of June 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 30, 2023 balances.

21. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

The following table provides supplemental cash flow information (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022
Cash interest paid	$	3,023	$	2,591
Significant non-cash financing and investing activities:

Stock issuance – other	—		158
Property, plant and equipment, net additions included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses	—		163
Accrual of equity issuance costs in Accounts payable and accrued expenses	—		1,789

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 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 months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 with respect to litigation or loss contingencies.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Insurance

The Company has deductible-based insurance policies for certain losses related to general liability, workers’ compensation, and automobile coverage. 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 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 million and included $0.6 million in Prepaids in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 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. 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 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

As of June 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. Additionally, an AMC representative serves on the Company’s Board of Directors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company paid an aggregate of $0.1 million to Ausenco for the preparation of the 2023 Hycroft TRS and AMC for directors fees. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid $0.1 million and $1.1 million to Ausenco for work performed on preparing an Acid POX milling technical study. As of June 30, 2023, AMC is entitled to receive 180,069 shares of common stock upon the future vesting of restricted stock units.

Certain amounts of the Company’s indebtedness have historically, and with regard to the $80.0 million of Subordinated Notes, been held by five financial institutions. As of June 30, 2023, none of the financial institutions held more than 10% of the common stock of the Company. As of June 30, 2022, one of the financial institutions, Mudrick, held more than 10% of the common stock of the Company and, as a result, was considered a related party in accordance with ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Interest expense included $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for the debt held by Mudrick and as of December 31, 2022, Mudrick held $42.9 million of Debt, net.

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, 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 months ended June 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 months ended June 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 developing the Hycroft Mine and recommencing mining 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 of 2023 and achieved one million workhours without a lost time incident as 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 historical levels experienced at the Hycroft Mine. During the first half 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 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We will continue our safety efforts to reach the level of safety we expect and need to keep our workforce, contractors, and visitors safe.

Executive Summary

During the second quarter of 2023, we initiated Phase 2 of the 2022-2023 exploration drill program, advanced 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 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 2023 Hycroft TRS using 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 the 2021 drill program, better understand the mineralization controls, test exploration targets outside the currently known deposits, and develop opportunities to mine higher-grade ore early in the mine plan enhancing the project’s economics. As part of the Phase 2 drilling in 2023, approximately 4,600 meters of RC drilling were completed and 1,100 meters of core have been completed on targets within the resource area focused on enhancing project economics. Exploration work outside of the resource area includes geophysics and soil sample programs in high priority target areas highlighted from the hyperspectral work completed in 2022. The results of this work are pending and expected in the third quarter 2023.

23

Exploration drill permits

During the second quarter of 2023 and in mid-July 2023, the Company obtained drill permits for step-out exploration targets that currently lie outside of the current resource footprint. These exploration permits cover areas outside the current plan of operations, targeting potential high-grade deposits. The Company continues to identify additional high potential exploration targets on its land outside the current plan of operations through exploration groundwork, geophysics, and continued review of the data in order to enhance our resource portfolio and identify additional avenues for sustainable growth.

Finalized Initial Assessment Technical Report

The Company and its third-party consultants completed and filed with the SEC the 2023 Hycroft TRS with an effective date of March 27, 2023. The 2023 Hycroft TRS included a mineral resource estimate for the Hycroft Mine that is based on a POX process. The POX process included in the 2023 Hycroft TRS is a conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation circuit that generates a concentrate to be fed to an autoclave facility commonly used for refractory gold ores in this region. The 2023 Hycroft TRS included measured and indicated mineral resources of 10.6 million ounces of gold and 360.7 million ounces of silver (15.2 million gold equivalent ounces) and inferred mineral resources of 3.4 million ounces of gold and 96.1 million ounces of silver (4.6 million gold equivalent ounces), that are contained in oxide, transitional, and sulfide ores. For this study, Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. developed the Hycroft Mine resource block model that includes 1981 to 2022 data generated from 5,601 holes, representing 2,588,826 feet of drilling. The mineral resources were estimated based upon results of the 2023 Hycroft TRS, as determined in accordance with the requirements of the Modernization Rules.

Metallurgical and variability test work

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company continued the metallurgical and flotation variability test work necessary for designing a sulfide milling operation. This work will establish (i) a comprehensive and current understanding of how each geologic domain will perform during operations; and (ii) the processing components and reagents required to optimize gold and silver recoveries. Our ongoing metallurgical and flotation test work has yielded promising results that will add additional value to the Hycroft Mine. The Company is working with consultants to complete this work and expects to receive all test results in the third quarter of 2023. The results to date have been very encouraging and they provided a direction for additional process development, provided concentrate material for pressure oxidation testing, and further refined the crushing and grinding studies. These results, and results from the 2022-2023 exploration drill program, will be used for designing the mine plan, the type and size of the mill circuit configuration, and the ore haul truck size specifications, among other engineering requirements.

2023 Outlook

The Company’s current plan is to (i) operate safely as it undertakes Phase 2 of the 2022-2023 exploration drill program; (ii) complete the metallurgical test work associated with the 2021 drill program and variability test work program; (iii) complete the evaluation of results from Phase 1 of the Company’s 2022-2023 exploration drill program; and (iv) advance the process flow sheet for a pre-feasibility study for recovering gold and silver from sulfide ore. Utilizing the assay results from the 2022-2023 drill program and variability test work program, the pre-feasibility study will include trade-off studies and alternative analyses. Some alternative analyses currently contemplated include evaluating grinding methods including high-pressure grinding rolls, reviewing alternative flotation cell configurations, completing a trade-off study for roasting equipment, evaluating sludge and slurry thickening equipment options, and reviewing different tank designs for carbon-in-leach technology. The pre-feasibility study is currently targeted for completion in the first half of 2024.

The following table provides a summary of operating results for the Hycroft Mine:

		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
		2023		2022		2023		2022
Ounces recovered – gold	(oz)	—		6,487		—		10,924
Ounces recovered – silver	(oz)	—		18,566		—		30,515
Ounces sold – gold	(oz)	—		1,966		—		6,740

Average realized sales price – silver	($/oz)	$	—	$	22.96	$	—	$	23.43

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.

Results of Operations

Revenues

The table below summarizes revenue from gold and silver sales, ounces sold and average realized prices for the following periods (in thousands, except ounces sold and per ounce amounts):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Gold revenue	$	—	$	3,695	$	—	$	12,601
Gold ounces sold	—		1,966		—		6,740
Average realized price (per ounce)	$	—	$	1,880	$	—	$	1,870
Silver revenue	$	—	$	136	$	—	$	396
Silver ounces sold	—		5,940		—		16,879
Average realized price (per ounce)	$	—	$	22.96	$	—	$	23.43

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 months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized Nil in Production costs, compared to $3.6 million and $13.2 million, respectively, or $1,848 and $1,961, per ounce of gold, sold during the same periods of 2022. As the Company did not generate revenue during the three and six months ended June 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.

25

Mine site period costs

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $2.8 million and $6.6 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 develops the Hycroft Mine and recommences mining operations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, inclusive of depreciation and amortization, the Company recorded $2.6 million and $9.0 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 months ended June 30, 2023, Projects, exploration, and development costs totaled $5.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively, compared to $0.2 million and $1.2 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 million and $7.6 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was the result of the Phase 1 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 months ended June 30, 2023, General and administrative expenses totaled $3.7 million and $7.0 million, respectively, compared to $5.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively, during the same period of 2022. The decrease of $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily due to bringing legal and accounting services in house, with less reliance on outside contractors.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization was $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.6 million and $1.6 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 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 million and $9.0 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $4.2 million and $9.5 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2022.

The increase of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 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 million for the six months ended June 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 of the balance in

26

March 2022 and November 2022. In addition, a portion of the Subordinated Notes balance was paid in November 2022; partially offset by quarterly interest payments that are paid in-kind as additional indebtedness.

Interest income

Interest income totaled $2.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. 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 million, respectively, in interest during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. In addition, the Company earned $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, on its Restricted cash and $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, from the Equipment Purchase Agreement related to Assets held for sale during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company began earning interest on its investment accounts and Restricted cash accounts in July 2022.

Fair value adjustments to warrants

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash gain of $0.1 million 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 months ended June 30, 2022, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash gain of $3.7 million, as the market trading values of the publicly listed warrants decreased during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash loss of $1.6 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 months ended June 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 30, 2023, was $117.1 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, 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

27

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, 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.

The following table summarizes projected sources of future liquidity, as recorded within the Financial Statements (in thousands):

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	117,064	$	141,984
Accounts receivable	—		2,771
Income tax receivable	1,530		1,530
Assets held for sale, net of option payments received of $1.2 million(1)	5,998		6,098
Total projected sources of future liquidity	$	124,592	$	152,383

(1)In August 2022, the Company entered into an Equipment Purchase Agreement to sell one ball mill and one semi-autogenous mill (“SAG mill”) for consideration of $12.0 million. The Company amended the Equipment Purchase Agreement in December 2022 to include a sub-station transformer for an additional amount of $1.6 million for a total amended equipment purchase price amount of $13.6 million, of which the Company has received payments totaling $1.2 million. The buyer has elected to extend the final payment of $12.4 million up to June 30, 2024 at an interest rate of 5% per annum on the outstanding balance for the ball mill and SAG mill from January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2023 and 7.5% per annum on any outstanding balance from April 1, 2023 until June 30, 2024.

Cash used in operating activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company used $22.4 million of cash in operating activities primarily attributable to a net loss of $27.8 million, the cash impact of which was $19.9 million. There was a $2.6 million deficit to working capital, including cash used to reduce Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.4 million and Other liabilities of $1.2 million, and an increase in Prepaids and deposits of $1.8 million, partially offset by $2.8 million cash received on the collection of Accounts receivable as the Company collected its remaining receivables related to gold and silver sales during 2022. The largest non-cash item included in net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2023, was Non-cash portion of interest expense of $6.0 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company used $22.1 million of cash in operating activities primarily attributable to a net loss of $31.0 million, the cash impact of which was equal to $20.3 million, and $1.8 million provided by working capital, that included $3.9 million decrease for production-related inventories as the Company continued to process the remaining gold and silver ore on its leach pads that was partly offset by cash used to reduce Accounts payable of $1.6 million. The largest non-cash items included in net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2022, included a loss of $1.6 million from Fair value adjustments to warrants and Non-cash portion of interest expense of $6.9 million.

Cash (used in) provided by investing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, investing activities used cash of $0.6 million primarily attributable to Additions to property, plant and equipment of $0.7 million, partially offset by Proceeds from sale of equipment of $0.1 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, investing activities provided cash of $2.8 million primarily from the sale of assets included in Assets held for sale, for gross proceeds of $1.9 million, and other mobile mine equipment and materials and supplies for gross proceeds of $1.4 million. In addition, the Company purchased mobile mine equipment of $0.5 million.

Cash (used in) provided by financing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, financing activities used cash of $1.2 million that was primarily related to Principal payments on debt and Principal payments on notes payable of $1.1 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 cash provided by financing activities of $164.0 million was primarily related to the equity offerings completed during the period: (i) the Private Placement offering completed on March 15, 2022 for gross proceeds of $55.9 million, and (ii) the ATM Program completed on March 25, 2022 for net proceeds of $133.6 million. These amounts were offset by the required prepayments under the Second A&R Agreement of $24.4 million, including $0.5 million of additional interest.

Future capital and cash requirements

The following table provides the Company’s gross contractual cash obligations as of June 30, 2023, that are grouped in the same manner as they are classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in order to provide a better understanding of the nature of the obligations and to provide a basis for comparison to historical information. The Company believes that the following provides the most meaningful presentation of near-term obligations expected to be satisfied using current and available sources of liquidity (in thousands):

	Payments Due by Period

(1)Under the Sprott Royalty Agreement, the Company is required to pay a perpetual royalty equal to 1.5% of the Net Smelter Returns from the Hycroft Mine, payable monthly that also includes an additional amount for withholding taxes payable by the royalty holder. Amounts presented above incorporate mineral resource estimates as reported in the 2023 Hycroft TRS.

(2)Mining operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which they are conducted, and we are required, upon cessation of operations, to reclaim and remediate the lands that our operations have disturbed. The estimated undiscounted inflated cash outflows of these remediation and reclamation obligations are reflected here. In the above presentation, no offset has been applied for the $58.3 million of our reclamation bonds or for the $34.7 million of cash collateral for those bonds included in Restricted Cash.

(3)Repayments of principal on debt consists of amounts due under the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement), the Subordinated Notes and notes payable for equipment purchases. Included in the repayment of the Subordinated Notes principal is interest that has been capitalized as payable in-kind on a quarterly basis, and on a monthly basis for the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement and the Second Amendment to the Second A&R Credit Agreement) for the first 12 months after the initial advance. Also included in the repayment of the Sprott Credit Agreement is the $3.3 million fee that has been capitalized as payable in-kind in connection with the Second A&R Agreement. See Note 9 – Debt, Net in the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

(4)The Company is required to pay a 4% net profit royalty, including advance royalty payments of $120,000 in any year where mining occurs on the Crofoot claims and an additional $120,000 if tons mined from the Crofoot claim blocks exceed 5.0 million tons. See Note 22 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information. Amounts shown represent the current estimates of cash payment timing using consensus pricing for gold and silver.

(5)Additional interest payments consist of repayments of additional interest under the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement), commencing February 28, 2021 (with the first cash payment due three months after such date) and ending on May 31, 2025. See Note 9 – Debt, Net in the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Debt covenants

The Company’s debt agreements contain representations and warranties, events of default, restrictions and limitations, reporting requirements, and covenants that are customary for agreements of these types.

The Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement and the Second Amendment to the Second A&R Agreement) contains covenants that, among other things, restrict or limit the ability of the Company to enter into encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), incur indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), dispose of its assets (other than Permitted Disposals), pay dividends, and purchase or redeem shares, as such terms are defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement and the Second Amendment to the Second A&R Agreement). The Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement and the Second Amendment to the Second A&R Agreement) requires the Company to ensure that, at all times, both its Working Capital and Unrestricted Cash are at least $15.0 million, as such terms are defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement and the Second Amendment to the Second A&R Agreement), and that at least every six months the Company demonstrates its ability to repay

30

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 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 amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Board of Directors of the Company also may determine in its discretion to abandon such an amendment, and not effectuate the Reverse Stock Split. 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 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).

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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. 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 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 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

33

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.

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, 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

34

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.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company under Item 10(f) of Regulation S-K, risk factors are not required to be included in a Quarterly Report and, therefore, are omitted from this filing.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

None.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

The Company believes “the miner is the most important thing to come out of a mine” and it supports that belief through its philosophy of “continuous improvement.” The Company’s mandated mine safety and health programs include employee and contractor training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation, and program auditing. These programs are a focus for the Company’s leadership and top management and are essential at all levels to ensure that its employees, contractors, and visitors operate safely. The Company’s goal for these programs is to have zero workplace injuries and occupational illnesses and it will focus on continuous improvement of its programs and practices to achieve this goal and is implementing programs and practices to align its safety culture with that goal.

The information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is included in Exhibit 95.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Exhibit 95.1

MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE

The following disclosures are provided pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Financial Reform Act”) and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, which requires certain disclosures by companies required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act that operate mines regulated under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”).

Mine Safety Information

Whenever the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) believes a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a citation which describes the alleged violation and fixes a time within which the operator (e.g., our subsidiary, Hycroft Resources & Development Inc.) must abate the alleged violation. In some situations, such as when MSHA believes that conditions pose a hazard to miners, MSHA may issue an order removing miners from the area of the mine affected by the condition until the alleged hazards are corrected. When MSHA issues a citation or order, it generally proposes a civil penalty, or fine, as a result of the alleged violation, that the operator is ordered to pay. Citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed.

The following table reflects citations and orders issued to us by MSHA during the six months ended June 30, 2023, excluding citations and orders issued to contractors. The proposed assessments as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were taken from the MSHA Mine Data Retrieval System. Section references below are to sections of the Mine Act.

Mine or Operation1:	Hycroft Mine (MSHA ID# 2601962)
Total # of "Significant and Substantial" Violations Under §104(a)2	—
Total # of Orders Issued Under §104(b)3	—
Total # of Citations and Orders Issued Under §104(d)4	—

Total Amount of Proposed Assessments from MSHA under the Mine Act7	—
Total # of Mining-Related Fatalities8	—

1 MSHA assigns an identification number to each mine or operation and may or may not assign separate identification numbers to related facilities. The definition of “mine” under section 3 of the Mine Act includes the mine, as well as other items used in, or to be used in, or resulting from, the work of extracting minerals, such as land, structures, facilities, equipment, machines, tools, and minerals preparation facilities.
2 Represents the total number of citations issued by MSHA under Section 104 of the Mine Act for violations of health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to a serious injury if left unabated.
3 Represents the total number of orders issued under Section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which represents a failure to abate a citation under Section 104(a) of the Mine Act within the period prescribed by MSHA. This results in an order of immediate withdrawal from the area of the mine affected by the condition until MSHA determines the violation has been abated.
4 Represents the total number of citations and orders issued by MSHA under Section 104(d) of the Mine Act for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory health or safety standards.
5 Represents the total number of flagrant violations identified by MSHA under Section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act.
6 Represents the total number of imminent danger orders issued under Section 107(a) of the Mine Act.
7 Amount represents the total United States dollar value of proposed assessments received from MSHA during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
8 Represents the total number of mining-related fatalities at mines subject to the Mine Act pursuant to Section 1503(a)(1)(G) of the Financial Reform Act.
9 Represents the total number of legal actions pending as of June 30, 2023 before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission as required by Section 1503(a) of the Financial Reform Act.
10 Represents the total number of legal actions instituted as of June 30, 2023 before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission as required by Section 1503(a) of the Financial Reform Act.
11 Represents the total number of legal actions resolved as of June 30, 2023 before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission as required by Section 1503(a) of the Financial Reform Act.

Exhibit 95.1

Pattern or Potential Pattern of Violations

In addition, as required by the reporting requirements regarding mine safety included in Section 1503(a)(2) of the Financial Reform Act, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, none of the Company’s mines of which the Company is an operator has received written notice from MSHA of:

(a)a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of coal or other mine health or safety hazards under Section 104(e) of the Mine Act; or    

(b)the potential to have such a pattern.

Company Overview

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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 months ended June 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 (“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.

Second Amendment to Sprott Credit Agreement

On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “March 2022 Sprott Agreement”) with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), L.P. (the “Lender”), as arranger, with respect to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sprott Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Lender, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors and the other parties thereto. On March 30, 2022, the Company, the guarantors and the Lender entered into the Second A&R Agreement, that: (i) extended the maturity date for the principal obligation under the Sprott Credit Facility by two years, to May 31, 2027; (ii) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the facility in the amount of $10.0 million promptly upon the Company’s receipt of cash proceeds from the Private Placement Offering with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”), a significant stockholder of the Company and 2176423 Ontario Limited, a significant stockholder of the Company and an entity affiliated with Eric Sprott (the “Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment”) (see Note 14 – Stockholders’ Equity for additional details); (iii) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the Sprott Credit Agreement in the amount of $13.9 million (representing 10% of the subsequent issuance of its equity interests consummated on or prior to March 31, 2022) (the “Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments”); and (iv) eliminated the prepayment premiums otherwise payable with respect to the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment, the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments and all future prepayments of principal under the Sprott Credit Facility. In addition, the Company’s obligations: (i) to prepay principal with proceeds of asset sales will be credited/offset by the aggregate amount of Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment and the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments ($23.9 million); and (ii) to maintain a minimum amount of Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the Second A&R Agreement) was increased to $15.0 million. The Company: (i) paid the previously deferred additional interest of $0.5 million; (ii) made the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $10.0 million and paid in-kind a $3.3 million fee in connection with the modification and capitalized it to principal on March 16, 2022; and (iii) made the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $13.9 million on March 30, 2022. The terms of the Additional Interest remained unchanged from the Sprott Credit Agreement. The Company accounted for the Second A&R Agreement as a debt modification as the Second A&R Agreement did not result in debt that was substantially different.

Second Amendment to the Second A&R Agreement

On July 1, 2023, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Second A&R Agreement, by and between the Company, the Lender, Sprott Resource Lending Corp. (“Arranger” and together with the Lender, the “Sprott Parties”), and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors. The Second Amendment to Second A&R Agreement amends the Second A&R Agreement dated March 30, 2022, which in turn amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sprott Credit Agreement”).

The Second Amendment to Second A&R Agreement: (i) corrects a cross-reference error; and (ii) implements a replacement of LIBOR with three-month Term SOFR effective July 1, 2023.

Amendment to the 10% Senior Secured Notes and Note Exchange Agreement

On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the 10% Senior Secured Notes and Note Exchange Agreement (the “Note Amendment”), with (i) certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors; (ii) holders of the 10% Senior Secured Notes (the “Subordinated Notes”), including certain funds affiliated with, or managed by, Mudrick Capital Management, L.P (“Mudrick”), Whitebox Advisors, LLC (“Whitebox”), Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (“Highbridge”), and Aristeia Capital, LLC (collectively, the “Amending Holders”); and (iii) Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as collateral agent. The Note Amendment amends the Note Exchange Agreement dated as of January 13, 2020 (the “Note Exchange Agreement”) and the Subordinated Notes issued thereunder in order to extend the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes from December 1, 2025 to December 1, 2027. The Note Amendment also removed the requirements that a holder receive the consent of the Company and the other holders in order to transfer any Subordinated Note.

The Amending Holders constituted all of the holders of the Subordinated Notes. The Note Amendment became effective upon the closing of a private placement upon receipt of $55.9 million gross cash proceeds (before deduction of fees and expenses).

(1)On October 22, 2022, the Seller Warrants expired pursuant to their terms and as of such time were no longer exercisable or outstanding. The remaining warrants outstanding totaled 9,403,629 at the time of expiration.

5-Year Private Warrants

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, including 6,540,491 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and therefore became classified as 5-Year Public Warrants.

On March 15, 2022, AMC, 2176423 Ontario Limited, and entities affiliated with Mudrick, who together constituted the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock, approved the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment by written consent. The Certificate of Incorporation Amendment became effective upon filing of the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on April 22, 2022, 20 days after the Company commenced distribution of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C to the stockholders of the Company.

Common stock

Private placement offering

On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into subscription agreements with AMC and 2176423 Ontario Limited pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the entities an aggregate of 46,816,480 units at a purchase price per unit of $1.193 with each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), providing for a total purchase price of approximately $55.9 million (the “Private Placement Offering”). The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.068 per Warrant Share and will expire five years after issuance. On March 15, 2022, the Private Placement Offering closed and the Company received gross proceeds of $55.9 million before deducting expenses incurred in connection with therewith. Net proceeds were $53.6 million, after deducting legal and other fees of $2.3 million (including a non-cash $1.8 million financial advisor fee related to the Private Placement Offering).

At-the-market offering

On March 15, 2022, the Company implemented an ATM Program by entering into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Agent”). Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may from time to time through the Agent, acting as sales agent or principal, offer and sell shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having a gross sales price of up to $500.0 million. Shares of common stock sold under the Sales Agreement were issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-257567) that the SEC declared effective on July 13, 2021, including the prospectus, dated July 13, 2021, and the prospectus supplement, dated March 15, 2022. The Company received total gross proceeds, before deducting fees and expenses of the ATM Program, of $138.6 million from the sale of 89,553,584 shares of the Company’s common stock, and approximately $361.4 million of shares of common stock remain available for future issuance under the Sales Agreement. Net proceeds, after deducting commissions and fees of $5.0 million were $133.5 million.

(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 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	—

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 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 30, 2023, there were 4,651,562 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 30, 2023, 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.

The following table summarizes the Company’s unvested share awards outstanding under the PIPP:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023	2022

Unvested end of period(1)	6,667,444	3,224,237

(1)As of June 30, 2022 unvested at the beginning of year and unvested end of period includes liability-based awards for which the number of units awarded was not determined until the vesting date. The number of liability-based award units included in this amount are estimated using the market value of the Company’s common shares as of the end of each reporting period.

(2)As of June 30, 2022 the impact of fluctuations in share price represents the difference between liability-based awards estimated as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(3)As of June 30, 2023, 20,768 restricted stock units vested and the corresponding issuance of shares of common stock was deferred as the Company was under a trading blackout as of the date of vesting. The shares of common stock will be issued upon expiration of the trading blackout.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

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 months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The effective tax rate for both the three and six months ended June 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.

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Due to the Company’s net loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, there was no dilutive effect of common stock equivalents because the effects of such would have been anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the shares excluded from the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, as the impact would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):

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

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,

while held by certain holders or their permitted transferees, are precluded from mandatory redemption and are entitled to be exercise 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 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s debt instruments was $135.2 million and $130.7 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $139.6 million and $134.7 million as of June 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 30, 2023 balances.

Commitments and Contingencies

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 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 months ended June 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, and automobile coverage. 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 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 million and included $0.6 million in Prepaids in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 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. 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 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of presentation

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 months ended June 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

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 and new accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

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 (“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.
