Hycroft To Be Added To the Solactive Global Silver Miners Total Returns Index

WINNEMUCCA, NV, April 25, 2024 - Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: HYMC) ("Hycroft" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that Hycroft will be added to the Solactive Global Silver Miners Total Returns Index (the "Silver Index"), effective May 1, 2024.

Diane R. Garrett, President and CEO of Hycroft, commented: "We are incredibly pleased with Hycroft's inclusion on the Solactive Global Silver Miners Total Returns Index as it is an important achievement and comes at a time of strong tailwinds in the price of commodities."

As noted in Solactive's Global Silver Miners Total Returns Index Guideline, companies included on the Silver Index must have "significant business operations in silver mining" with either "significant revenues generated or expected to be generated in the future either from silver mining or closely related activities (i.e.exploration and refining of silver) and a free float market capitalization of at least US$60 million". The index is comprised of up to 40 companies that meet the criteria specified in the guidelines and includes international companies active in exploration, mining and/or refining of silver from across the industry and varied geographic locations. Inclusion in this Silver Index reflects the Company's growth and accomplishments and provides Hycroft's investors enhanced liquidity, and trading flexibility by giving the Company a higher profile within the investment community.

As previously reported, Hycroft initiated the largest exploration program at the Hycroft Mine in over a decade, which culminated in the best hole ever drilled in the history of Hycroft resulting in a very high-grade underground silver discovery.

About Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation is a US-based gold and silver company exploring and developing the Hycroft Mine, one of the world's largest precious metals deposits located in northern Nevada, a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction. After a long history of oxide heap leaching operations, the Company is focused on completing the technical studies to transition the Hycroft Mine into a large-scale milling operation for processing the sulfide ore. In addition, the Company is engaged in a robust exploration drill program to unlock the full potential of our expansive +64,000-acre land package, of which less than 10% has been explored. In 2023, Hycroft announced the discovery of a new high-grade silver system within the known resource area and the delineation of two new high-grade silver trends. These discoveries represent a significant new value driver for the Hycroft Mine that the Company is following up on with additional drilling in 2024.

The words "estimate", "plan", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "believe" "target", "budget", "may", "can", "will", "would", "could", "should", "seeks", or "scheduled to" and similar words or expressions, or negatives of these terms or other variations of these terms or comparable language or any discussion of strategy or intention identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements address activities, events, or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future and are based on current expectations and assumptions.

The exploration target does not represent, and should not be construed to be, an estimate of a mineral resource or mineral reserve, as ranges of potential tonnage and grade (or quality) of the exploration target are conceptual in nature; there has been insufficient exploration of the relevant property or properties to estimate a mineral resource; and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a mineral resource. These risks may include the following, and the occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances alone or in combination with other events or circumstances may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations. Please see our "Risk Factors" outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and other reports filed with the SEC for more information about these and other risks.
