Mountain Province Diamonds Holders Approve TSX Exit and Eye Restructuring Moves Mountain Province Diamonds shareholders approved a voluntary delisting from the Toronto Stock Exchange at the June 30, 2026 annual and special meeting, with the company also planning to continue into British Columbia corporate jurisdiction and confirming it is exploring restructuring options such as a potential go-private deal or share consolidation.
The resolutions included setting the board at five directors and electing new directors, signaling a formal reset of governance as the company evaluates transaction alternatives that could materially change how Mountain Province Diamonds is owned and traded.
The stock last traded at CA$0.02, with the share price down 63.6% year to date, putting additional focus on how any restructuring or go-private outcome might treat existing public shareholders.
The key question from here is how any eventual restructuring terms balance the interests of current shareholders against those of lenders or prospective new owners. Announcement • May 02

Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. Updates Production Guidance for the Year 2025 Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. updated production guidance for the year 2025. For the year, the company expects the reduction in carats recovered, is due to lower than planned grade from the ore stockpile material treated, resulting in a revised guidance range of 4.0 million to 4.2 million carats recovered, compared to previous guidance of 4.3 million to 4.7 million carats recovered. In respect of production costs, although operating costs remain largely in line with budget, the combination of lower carats recovered and the release of previously capitalised costs into production costs as ore stockpile tonnes reduce, pushed the production costs per carat beyond the top end of guidance, with a revised guidance range of $125 per carrot recovered– $130 per carat recovered, compared to original guidance of $92 per carot recovered– $107 per carat recovered. The reduction in the tonnes of ore stockpile, similarly, explains the revised guidance range of $145 per tonne treated – $155 per tonne treated, compared to original guidance of $120 per tonne treated– $137 per tonne treated.

Mountain Province Diamonds Inc., Annual General Meeting, May 16, 2025 Mountain Province Diamonds Inc., Annual General Meeting, May 16, 2025. New Risk • Feb 11
New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: CA$12.7m (US$8.90m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (19% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$12.7m market cap, or US$8.90m). New Risk • Feb 05
New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Canadian stocks, typically moving 17% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (CA$14.9m market cap, or US$10.4m). Reported Earnings • Nov 08

Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. Announces Updated Life of Mine Plan and Updated Mineral Resource and Reserve Estimate Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. announced that it has completed an updated mineral reserve and mineral resource estimate and life of mine plan (the "LOM") in respect of the Gahcho Kué Mine, a joint venture between De Beers Canada Inc. (51%) and Mountain Province (49%), located 280 km northeast of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The updated LOM is the result of engineering work done to steepen the pit walls, resulting in realization of further value at the Gahcho Kué mine. In accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure For Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), a supporting technical report effective April 22, 2024 will be filed within 45 days of this news release (the "2024 Technical Report"). The 2024 Technical Report will supersede the technical report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report Gahcho Kué Mine Northwest Territories Canada" having an effective date of December 31, 2021 and a report date of March 28, 2022 (the "2022 Technical Report"). Highlights: Mountain Province's 49% share of operating cash flow from remaining open pit mining operations is estimated at $626 million. Ore processing is now estimated to finish early 2031, not 2030 as estimated in the 2022 Technical Report. On a full-year basis from 2024 to 2031 the total diamond recovery is estimated to be 36.3 million carats compared to 30.8 million carats in the 2022 Technical Report. These economics exclude 'inferred' resources included in the new pit design. The engineering work done to steepen the pit walls has resulted in ore that is deeper in the open pit coming into the mine plan in addition to a small reduction in waste stripping. On a full-year basis for 2024 the updated Technical Report has the mine planning to produce 36.3 million carats (on a 100% basis) from the beginning of 2024 to the end of the life of mine, whereas the 2022 Technical Report had 30.8 million carats being produced from the beginning of 2024 to the end of the life of the mine. Included in the production plan is moving to a lower Bottom Cut-off from 1.1mm to 1.0mm in 2027 which coincides with expected lower global production due to mine closures from 2026 onward. Life of Mine: Updated geotechnical pit slope recommendations since the 2022 Technical Report allowed the various pits to be redesigned with steeper walls allowing additional kimberlite to be captured within the pits and an updated LOM plan. The updated LOM plan extends production through 2031 and reflects an increase of 2.7 Mt at 2.0 c/t (5.5 Mcts), relative to the prior LOM plan. Updated Mineral Resource and Reserve Estimate: There have been three block model updates for the Gahcho Kué Mine since the 2022 Technical Report, each of which have increased the overall volume of the ore bodies. The interpretation of the external kimberlite contacts was updated based on mining data including blast holes logs and face mapping contact pickups. This information allowed projection/interpretation of changes to 3-4 benches below the current mining benches, providing a more probable view of kimberlite volumes to be mined in the short term. In addition, several drillholes from the Resource Extension Program were included in the update to Hearne and the surrounding country rock models. Reported Earnings • Aug 09

Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. Announces the Discovery of Additional Kimberlite, Approximately 40 Metres to the Northeast of the Modeled Tuzo Kimberlite Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. announced the discovery of additional kimberlite, approximately 40 metres to the northeast of the modeled Tuzo kimberlite. In addition, the drilling of the Hearne Deep and the Northwest Extension has seen multiple intercepts of up to 287 metres of kimberlite. The Hearne Northwest Extension was identified in late 2021 when a kimberlite exposure (25 meters across) was encountered in a lower bench face during routine mining operations. Drilling programs in 2022 indicated that a significant volume of previously unknown kimberlite could exist, with ten of sixteen drillholes reported kimberlite intersections up to 114 meters in the extension. In the 2023 program ten of eleven drillholes collared within and outside of the Hearne pit have intersected kimberlite with the longest intersection being 287 meters. Drillholes within the pit are shown as red circles. Insets show the shape of Hearne prior to discovery of the extension. The internal geology of Hearne is shown with blue indicating hypabyssal kimberlite (HK/HKt) and yellow and green indicating fragmental kimberlite (TK/TKt). The modeled outer contacts and internal geology for the Northwest Extension are speculative at this time and will be adjusted as the results of detailed logging and analysis are received. Following on the discovery and delineation of the Hearne Northwest Extension, drilling to look for a similar extension has been started at Tuzo. Limited historical drilling at Tuzo has confirmed kimberlite to a vertical depth of over 700 meters. Based on the northeast-directed downward ramping of the 5034 kimberlite and its proximity to Tuzo, a single drillhole was collared east of Tuzo to test for a northeast extension. The image below shows the relationship of drillhole MPV-23-632C to the 5034, Tuzo and Wilson kimberlites. Drillhole MPV-23-632C intersected TKt/HKt kimberlite from 669.77-710.00 meters, and is located roughly 40 meters northeast of the Tuzo kimberlite. The kimberlite phase in Tuzo that is nearest to the intersect is modeled also as TKt (shown in yellow in the image). Logging and mineral chemistry of the drill core is underway to confirm whether it is similar in detail to Tuzo. Announcement • May 17

Completes 2022 Kennady North Exploration Program and Discovers New Kimberlite East of the Kelvin Kimberlite Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. announced positive exploration results for its 100%-held Kennady North Project. The Kennady North Project includes over 113,000 hectares of claims and leases that completely surroundthe Gahcho Kué Diamond Mine. The 2022 exploration program focused on new discoveries through a detailed analysis of both new and historic geophysical, geological, and kimberlite indicator mineral ('KIM') data.Interim results for the winter program that focused on geophysical surveys and drilling of lake-based anomalies were reported previously. The summer program focused on drilling land-accessible geophysical targets and on follow-up till sampling over KIM anomalies generated from the 2021 till sampling program. Highlights of the 2022 Kennady North Exploration Program: The new KE kimberlite area discovered - New and distinct occurrence that is located roughly 450 meters east of the Kelvin kimberlite; Defined by three drillholes that have confirmed a series of hypabyssal kimberlite sheets ('HK') with a maximum HK intersect of 2.13 meters, that appear to be new and distinct from the nearby Kelvin deposit; and Further drilling of the KE kimberlite is currently planned for the 2023 exploration program. Over 5,000m of Exploration Drilling - 25 of 35 exploration drillholes intersected kimberlite; and Eight volcaniclastic kimberlite intersections on the North Anomaly. Geophysical Surveys - 1,291 line-km of airborne magnetics and electromagnetics; 189 line-km of high-resolution resistivity (ARRT) data; 30 line-km of ground magnetics; 3,139 ground gravity and 161 bathymetry measurements; and Historic HLEM and magnetics identified the KE kimberlite. Kimberlite indicator Minerals - Over 600 strategic till samples processed and assessed from 2021; Over 300 follow-up till samples in 2022 confirming the 2021 sampling strategies; and Positive KIM dispersals identified new areas for geophysics and drilling. Metals Exploration - Intersection of a hydrothermal breccia with quartz veining and sulfides, which remains under review; Glacial sediment geochemistry identified areas of interest; and A new claim block was added after a detailed review of historical drill logs was conducted and determined that a drill hole was logged in the early 1990's as an intersection from 108 to 176 meters of granite/quartz syenite with magnetite veinlets throughout the interval and 2% molybdenite based on visual estimations. Exploration Drilling - A total of 5,355.9 meters of exploration drilling was completed over the 2022 programs with 25 of 35 drillholes intersecting kimberlite. The KE kimberlite is a new and distinct occurrence that is located roughly 450 meters east of the Kelvin kimberlite. The KE discovery resulted from a review of historical horizontal loop electromagnetic ('HLEM') and magnetic geophysical data and was drilled at the end of the summer program. The KE kimberlite is defined by three drillholes that have confirmed a series of hypabyssal kimberlite sheets ('HK') with a maximum HK intersect of 2.13 meters. Further drilling of the KE kimberlite is planned for the 2023 exploration program. Drilling on the North, South, KS, G6, A003 and P1 anomalies was guided by results from the winter ARRT and ground gravity surveys. Kimberlite was intersected at all but the G6, A003 and P1 areas, see the map on the following page. Thirteen of fifteen drillholes completed at the North Anomaly have identified depth-extensive zones of HK mixed with highly altered country rock up to 6.93m in thickness. VK intersects mixed with HK up to 7.05m in thickness have been intersected in eight drillholes, with 3D modeling of the drilling indicating lateral continuity for the VK. At the Kelvin and Faraday kimberlites, VK comprises the great volume and its presence at the North Anomaly is considered a good indication for volume potential to be discovered with further drilling. At the South Anomaly all five drillholes have HK present with thicknesses up to 6.96 meters. Country rock breccia consisting of highly comminuted gneiss mixed with kimberlite has also been observed, and is considered indicative of volume potential for the South Anomaly. Five of seven drillholes at the KS anomaly intersected HK kimberlite up to 3.52m in thickness. Locations for the drill-tested anomalies relative to the Kelvin and Faraday kimberlites are shown in the first image, with the anomalies abbreviated in bold. Also shown are known kimberlites as green diamonds. P1 Hydrothermal Breccia - Two drillholes testing a near-land gravity and ARRT anomaly intersected hydrothermal breccia with associated sulfide mineralization that has not been previously observed in this region. The veining is clearly hydrothermal with quartz exhibiting both massive and vuggy textures that are intimately associated with pyrite. The veins run from a few centimeters up to 4.23 meters in continuous thickness and are associated with hydrothermally altered granite and diabase up to 60m in thickness. Initial whole rock and trace element data for 14 core samples of both the veins and altered country rock have not revealed any anomalous levels of base or precious metals. Further sampling of the hydrothermal breccia for geochemical analysis is presently underway with results expected in early 2023. Selected images of the P1 core are provided in the second image.

Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. Provides Interim Drilling Results for the Hearne Northwest Extension At Gahcho Kué Mine Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. provided interim drilling results for the Hearne Northwest Extension at Gahcho Kué Mine. The Hearne kimberlite is one of four kimberlites being mined at Gahcho Kué, presently ranked at 5th in the world with an annual diamond production of approximately six million carats. Mountain Province is a 49% shareholder at Gahcho Kué with joint venture partner De Beers Canada as operators. With the success of the recently completed drilling program, further drilling of the Northwest Extension will be implemented with the goal to define the volume and depth extent of the kimberlite. The Hearne Northwest Extension was exposed in a bench face in late 2021 during routine mining operations. Geophysical surveys were conducted over the exposed kimberlite, on the ramp over the bench face exposure, and outside of the pit to the west-northwest. Based on in-pit geophysics, drilling focused to the west northwest where similar electromagnetic and gravity signatures were similar to those in the pit. The original exposure of kimberlite in the Hearne pit is provided in the first image. The kimberlite is outlined in yellow, with broken country rock above the kimberlite outlined in green. The horizontal distance across the kimberlite exposure is roughly 25 meters. The blue box on the left image is expanded on the right image. Three-digit numbers on the right image mark drillholes completed to date on the Northwest Extension. The dashed line indicates the approximate start of the Northwest Extension. The shape of the extension is approximate and based on modeling of the limited drilling to date. Nine of the 14 drillholes have intersected hypabyssal kimberlite (`HK') and tuffisitic kimberlite (`TK') with intersects ranging from 23.02 to 114.53 meters. Drillhole MPV-22-595C is still underway in kimberlite with an intersect of 48 meters as at the time of this release. Both the HK and TK rock types are visually consistent with the known internal units at Hearne. The true thickness and depth extent of the Northwest Extension are unknown based on the limited drilling results. A summary of drilling that presently defines the Hearne Northwest Extension is provided below. Logging, petrographic and mineral chemistry studies are underway to properly define the HK and TK contacts in the extension and their relationship to the main Hearne kimberlite. Following on results of these detailed studies, further drilling will be implemented with the goal to define the volume and depth extent of the Northwest Extension. Announcement • Jul 12

Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. Announces Interim Exploration Results for its 100%-Held Kennady North Project Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. announced interim exploration results for its 100%-held Kennady North Project. The Kennady North Project consists of over 107,000 hectares of claims and leases that completely surround the Gahcho Kué Diamond Mine. The 2022 exploration program is focussed on finding new kimberlites based on a detailed analysis of historical technical information including ground and airborne geophysics, kimberlite indicator minerals, and geological mapping. Approximately 3,000 of the ongoing 6,000 meter winter drill program have been completed. Of the sixteen targets identified four have been tested by drilling so far. Drilling will continue through the rest of the winter 2022 program which is expected to culminate at the end of May. Summer exploration will start in Third Quarter with emphasis on follow-up sampling of indicator mineral results generated from the 2021 till sampling program, which are expected to be complete by the end of third quarter. A review of all winter 2022 ground geophysical data continues through Second Quarter with the intent to drill areas of interest with land-based anomalies in the summer program. To date, 2,935 meters from 20 drillholes have been collected from the North Anomaly, South Anomaly, KS Anomaly and G6 Anomaly. These anomalies were defined using ARRT (a high-resolution ground resistivity system developed by Aurora Geoscience Ltd., Yellowknife), and by ground gravity. Both systems recognize the physical contrast between competent country rock and country rock adjacent to kimberlite that is broken and altered from emplacement of the kimberlite. Locations for the anomalies relative to the Kelvin and Faraday kimberlites (CNW Group/Mountain Province Diamonds Inc.) Seven drillholes completed at the North Anomaly have identified depth-extensive zones of highly altered country rock intermixed with intersects of hypabyssal kimberlite ranging from 0.03 to 6.93 meters in thickness (average thickness 1.54m). Suspected volcaniclastic kimberlite has been intersected in three drillholes and ranges from 0.16 to 2.13 meters in thickness (average 0.95m), with 3D modeling of the drilling indicating lateral continuity for the VK. For Kelvin and Faraday kimberlites at Kennady North, VK comprises the greatest volume and its presence in the exploration drilling is considered a good indication for volume potential at the North Anomaly. At the South Anomaly all five drillholes have HK present with thicknesses ranging from 0.68 to 6.96 meters (average 3.23m). Country rock breccia consisting of highly comminuted gneiss mixed with kimberlite has also been observed, and is indicative of volume potential for the South Anomaly. Four of six drillholes at the KS anomaly intersected HK kimberlite ranging from 0.22 to 1.49 meters in thickness. The present interpretation for the KS anomaly is that the system is lacking the kimberlitic fluids necessary to break up country rock and provide volume for VK to develop. The target AOI were selected from recently-compiled studies of glacial geology and kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) dispersions over the project area. Additional target AOI were selected after a review of historical geophysical data for Kennady North. These datasets were reviewed during several in-house workshops held in late 2021 and early 2022, with final ranking of sixteen AOI completed in a joint workshop held with De Beers in February 2022. The sixteen AOI were scheduled for ARRT and ground gravity surveys during the winter program, with a total of 188.8 line-km of ARRT and 3,139 gravity stations completed over the targets. Drilling has started at the G6 anomaly, situated on the winter spur road to Gahcho Kué Mine. The G6 anomaly is the result of a 1997 DIGHEM airborne survey that delineated the Kelvin, Faraday and Gahcho Kué kimberlites. Recent drilling over follow-up coincident ARRT and ground gravity anomalies encountered no kimberlite. Assessment of the drill data is underway. In addition to the ground geophysical surveys, a small airborne magnetic/electromagnetic survey was conducted over an unsurveyed area located one kilometer southeast of Gahcho Kué. A total of 1,291 line-km of data were collected over the area. In 2021 over 600 till samples were collected over the project area, including the recently staked Kennady East claims. Preliminary results for 47 samples confirm the presence of pyrope, chromite and picroilmenite in esker samples from the southern portion of the Kennady East claims. Reported Earnings • May 05

Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. Provides an Update for Its 100%-Held Kennady North Project Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. provided an update for its 100%-held Kennady North Project. The Kennady North Project covers 22 federal leases and 97 claims that include the new eastern claims that were acquired in early 2020. With the acquisition of the eastern claims, the Kennady North Project now totals 106,202 hectares and completely surrounds the Gahcho Kué Mine. Mountain Province is a 49% participant with De Beers Canada in the
Gahcho Kué diamond mine. The eastern claims were acquired after in-house data suggested that kimberlite indicator minerals (`KIM') continued up-ice and east of the known kimberlite occurrences, including the kimberlites
at Gahcho Kué. The KIM dispersion for Kennady North is shown in the image below with the inset image detailing KIM that are present east of the known kimberlites. The Company has also completed a detailed glacial geology study on the eastern claims that is similar to the study conducted in 2018 by PalmerTM (Vancouver, BC) on the western claims and leases. The 2021 Palmer study incorporates field mapping and remote imagery data to identify
glacial materials that are most amenable for recovery of KIM, and for tracking those KIM back to a primary source. Summer 2021 till sampling on the eastern claims is nearly complete with 327 samples being collected under guidance from the 2021 Palmer study. An additional 298 till samples were also collected from the western Kennady claims. The company gratefully acknowledges the receipt of a Minerals Incentive Program (MIP) award
