July 15, 2026, Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it has appointed Michael Deal as Senior

leadership experience across complex, multi-asset gold and silver operations in North America, with a proven track record of

building, scaling, and optimizing operations through disciplined capital allocation, technical rigor, and operational excellence.

Most recently, from June 2021 to the present, Mr. Deal served as Vice President, Operations at First Majestic Silver, where he

provided enterprise leadership across a portfolio of operating mines and development assets and served as Executive Lead for the

integration of a $1 billion acquisition. He also directed annual capital programs exceeding $300 million while improving production,

safety performance, and operating discipline. Mr. Deal previously held senior operating and technical leadership roles with Nevada

Gold Mines, OceanaGold, Romarco Minerals, and Newmont Corporation, spanning open-pit and underground mining, heap leaching, milling,

his appointment as the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective August 23, 2026. Pursuant to the Employment

Agreement, Mr. Deal will receive an initial annual base salary of $425,000, subject to annual review by the Board of Directors or the

of the Company. Mr. Deal is also entitled to a one-time signing bonus of $150,000, payable within 30 days following his employment commencement

date, subject to repayment on a declining pro rata basis if his employment is terminated by the Company for cause or by Mr. Deal without

good reason within 18 months following the effective date of his employment.

The

Employment Agreement provides for severance benefits if Mr. Deal’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or if

he resigns for good reason, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a customary release of claims. If such termination occurs

before the six-month anniversary of his employment commencement date, Mr. Deal will be entitled to continued payment of his base

salary for six months and continued coverage under the Company’s medical, dental, life and disability plans for six months. If such

termination occurs on or after the six-month anniversary of his employment commencement date, he will be entitled to continued

payment of his base salary for twelve months and continued coverage under the Company’s medical, dental, life and disability

plans for twelve months. If, within the period beginning 90 days before and ending one year following a change in control of the

Company, Mr. Deal’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or he resigns for good reason, subject to his

execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, he will be entitled to a lump-sum cash payment equal to 1.5 times his annual

base salary, a lump-sum cash payment equal to 1.5 times his annual bonus (determined as provided in the Employment Agreement),

continued coverage under the Company’s medical, dental, life and disability plans for 18 months, and accelerated vesting of his

outstanding equity awards under qualifying circumstances.

The

Employment Agreement also contains customary confidentiality, assignment of inventions, non-solicitation and non-competition covenants.

AGREEMENT

THIS

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of this ______ day of July, 2026, is made by and between Hycroft

Mining Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Michael J. Deal (the “Employee”).

WHEREAS,

the Company desires to employ the Employee in the capacity Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer (SVP, COO); and

WHEREAS,

the Company and the Employee have reached agreement concerning the terms and conditions of his employment and wish to formalize that

agreement.

NOW,

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Company and the Employee agree

as follows:

Employment. The Company hereby employs the Employee as Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer (SVP, COO), effective as

of August 23, 2026 (the “Effective Date”) and the Employee hereby accepts such employment upon the terms and conditions

set forth in this Agreement. The Employee will report to the President and/or Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Employee’s

principal office will be his primary residence in Arizona.

Duties and Location. During the Term, the Employee shall serve as the SVP, COO. In this capacity, the Employee shall have the

duties, authorities and responsibilities commensurate with the duties, authorities and responsibilities of persons in similar capacities

in similarly sized companies and such other duties, authorities and responsibilities as may reasonably be assigned to the Employee by

the CEO that are not inconsistent with the Employee’s position as SVP, COO. In addition:

(a)

The Employee will devote his full time and best efforts, talents, knowledge and experience to serving as the Company’s SVP, COO.

The Employee will perform his duties diligently and competently and will act in conformity with Company’s written and oral policies

and within the limits, budgets and business plans set by the Company. The Employee will also comply with the Company’s Compensation

Recovery Policy, as it may be amended from time to time. Further, the Employee will at all times during the Term of this Agreement strictly

adhere to and obey all of the rules and regulations in effect from time to time relating to the conduct of Employees of the Company.

The Employee will not engage in consulting work or any trade or business for his own account or for or on behalf of any other person,

firm or company that, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, competes, conflicts or interferes with the performance of

his duties hereunder in any material way.

(b)

The Employee agrees to serve without additional compensation as an officer and director of any of the Company’s subsidiaries and

agrees that amounts, if any, received from such subsidiary may be offset against the amounts due hereunder.

(c)

Location and On-Site Requirements. The parties acknowledge and agree that the nature of the Employee’s position as Senior Vice

President, Chief Operating Officer of the Company will require the Employee to spend a considerable amount of time at the Company’s

mine site located near Winnemucca, Nevada (the “Mine Site”), particularly during the first year of the Employee’s employment.

Without limiting the foregoing, during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2026 (the “Initial

Period”), the Employee agrees to spend at least three (3) out of every four (4) weeks in each calendar month physically present

and performing the Employee’s duties at the Mine Site, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the CEO. The specific schedule during

the Initial Period shall be mutually agreed between the Employee and the CEO, with the objective of ensuring effective on-site leadership

and collaboration with the team at the Mine Site. The parties anticipate that the precise weekly schedule may be adjusted from time to

time by mutual written agreement to accommodate business needs and personal circumstances.

During

any period in which the Employee is required or scheduled to work at the Mine Site, the Company shall, at its sole expense, provide the

Employee with suitable living accommodations in Winnemucca, Nevada. The Company shall also provide the Employee with a vehicle for the

Employee’s business and personal use while the Employee is at or traveling to and from the Mine Site.

between the Mine Site (or the nearest commercial airport serving Winnemucca, Nevada) and the nearest commercial airport to the Employee’s

primary residence in Arizona. Reimbursement shall be made in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures

then in effect and upon timely submission of appropriate documentation and receipts.

Following

the expiration of the Initial Period, the parties shall discuss in good faith the ongoing location arrangements, travel requirements,

and related support for the Employee’s role. The parties anticipate that the arrangement may evolve into a more permanent structure

(which could include a combination of remote work and periodic on-site presence).

Term. The Employee shall be an “at-will” employee of the Company whose employment may be terminated (by the Company

or by the Employee) at any time, for any or no reason. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or mutually agreed by the Company

and the Employee, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect throughout the Term and, with

respect to those terms and conditions that apply after the Term. Any representation, statement or implication to the contrary is unauthorized

and not valid.

in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company and which shall be subject to applicable withholdings, deductions and

taxes. The Board, or the Compensation Committee thereof, will review the Employee’s performance and Base Salary annually in or

around February of each year and determine whether to adjust the Employee’s Base Salary on a prospective basis. Such adjusted annual

salary then will become the Employee’s “Base Salary” for all purposes of this Agreement. The Employee’s annual

shall be set at 70% of the Employee’s Base Salary, with bonus payments ranging from 0 to 150% of the bonus target based upon specific

individual and corporate performance metrics under any cash bonus plan to be determined from time to time by the Board or Compensation

Committee thereof. Any bonus earned by the Employee will be paid in accordance with the Company’s standard practice, which shall

not be later than March 15 of the year following the end of the calendar year in which the Employee earns and vests in the right to receive

the bonus or compensation as determined by the Board, or the Compensation Committee.

the Employee’s commencement of employment on August 30, 2026, the Employee shall be eligible for a full (non-prorated) annual cash

bonus for the 2026 calendar year with a target equal to 70% of the Employee’s Base Salary, subject to the same performance metrics,

goals, and discretion of the Board or Compensation Committee as apply to other senior officers. Any such bonus earned shall be paid no

later than March 15, 2027.

thirty (30) days following the termination date, a pro rata portion of the Signing Bonus equal to the product of (i) the full amount

of the Signing Bonus and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is eighteen (18) minus the number of full months elapsed between the

Effective Date and the termination date, and the denominator of which is eighteen (18). For purposes of the foregoing, no repayment shall

be required if such termination occurs on or after the eighteenth (18th) month anniversary of the Effective Date. The Employee

authorizes the Company to deduct any such repayment amount from any amounts payable to the Employee upon termination of employment to

the extent permitted by applicable law.

Payments on Termination of Employment.

(a)

Termination of Employment for any Reason. Upon termination of the Employee’s employment for any reason, including without

limitation, the expiration of this Agreement, the Company will pay or provide the following to the Employee:

(i)

Earned but unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination;

(ii)

Any annual incentive bonus, or other form of incentive compensation, for which the performance measurement period has ended and the Employee

has become eligible and earned in accordance with Section 4(b) above, but which is unpaid at the time of termination;

(iii)

Any amounts payable to the Employee under any of the Company’s Employee benefit plans (other than any severance or termination

pay plan) in accordance with the terms of those plans;

(iv)

Unreimbursed business expenses incurred by the Employee on the Company’s behalf; and

(v)

Continued coverage under the Company’s group health plan for the Employee during the COBRA continuation period; provided

that the Employee timely elects COBRA continuation coverage and pays the applicable COBRA rate for such continued coverage.

(b)

Termination of Employment for Death or Disability. If the Employee’s termination of employment occurs by reason of death

or Disability (as defined below), in addition to the amounts payable and benefits provided under Section 5(a) above, the Company

will pay the Employee (or his estate) a pro rata portion of any bonus payable under the PIPP, as the case may be, for the year in which

such termination occurs determined based on the actual bonus attained for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs.

For

purposes of payments to be made under paragraph 5 of this Agreement, “Disability” means the Employee’s inability

to perform the essential job functions, with or without a reasonable accommodation.

Employee

shall be entitled to no other payments under this Agreement in the event that Employee’s employment with the Company ends as a

result of death or Disability.

(c)

Termination by the Company other Than for Cause or Voluntary Termination by the Employee for Good Reason. If the Company terminates

the Employee’s employment other than for Cause, or if the Employee voluntarily terminates his employment for Good Reason, in addition

to the amounts payable under Section 5(a) above and in lieu of the benefit provided in Section 5(a)(v) above, and subject

to the provisions under this Section 5(c), Section 9(a) and Section 9(f) (including the timely execution and non-revocation

of a Release (as defined below), the Company will pay the following amounts and provide the following benefits to the Employee:

(i)

If the Company terminates the Employee’s employment other than for Cause, or if the Employee voluntarily terminates his employment

for Good Reason, an amount in cash equal to (A) six (6) months of the Employee’s Base Salary if such termination occurs prior to

the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date, or (B) twelve (12) months of the Employee’s Base Salary if such termination

occurs on or after the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date. The applicable amount will be paid in equal installments during

the corresponding six (6)-month or twelve (12)-month period after termination in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices,

provided, however, that any installments that would otherwise be payable within the first sixty (60) days following the date of

the Employee’s termination will be paid to the Employee on the sixtieth (60th) day following such termination.

(ii)

Continued coverage under the Company’s medical, dental, life, and disability plans through (A) the six (6)-month anniversary of

the date that the Employee’s employment was terminated if such termination occurs prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the

Effective Date, or (B) the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the date that the Employee’s employment was terminated if such termination

occurs on or after the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date, in each case at the same cost to the Employee as in effect on

the date of the Employee’s termination. Any continuation of group health plan benefits is conditioned upon the Employee timely

electing COBRA continuation coverage and timely paying his share of the premium. If the Company determines that the Employee cannot participate

in any benefit plan because he is not actively performing services for the Company, the Company may provide such benefits under an alternate

arrangement, such as through the purchase of an individual insurance policy that provides similar benefits or a lump sum cash payment

equal to the cost that the Company would have paid under the plan(s) for which coverage would have otherwise been available. Any cash

amounts payable under an alternative arrangement will be paid to the Employee on the 60th day after the date of the Employee’s

termination; provided, however, that any alternative arrangement provided through an insurance policy (e.g., health care

and disability insurance) will be paid when the related premiums are due to the insurer.

Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any obligation of the Company to provide any payment, coverage or benefit described in this

Section 5(c) is conditioned upon the Executive executing and delivering to the Company a separation agreement and general release

of all claims against the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and its and their directors, officers, employees, shareholders and agents,

in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (a “Release”) and within the timelines specified by the Company.

In accordance with the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Employee will be provided an extended period of time to consider the

terms of the release before signing, and no money or benefits shall be payable until the consideration period and any revocation periods

have passed. Except for the payments outlined in Section 5(a), no compensation will be due and payable to the Employee until after

the Company receives a fully executed original of the Release, and any applicable revocation periods have expired.

(d)

Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following without

the Employee’s consent: (i) a material reduction or a material adverse alteration in the nature of the Employee’s position,

responsibilities or authorities or the assigning of duties to the Employee that are materially inconsistent with those of the position

of an Employee of a company of comparable size in a comparable industry; (ii) the Employee’s becoming the holder of a lesser office

or title than that previously held; (iii) any material breach of this Agreement by the Company that causes an adverse change to the terms

and conditions of the Employee’s employment; (iv) the Company requires the Employee to relocate his principal business office to

a location not within 75 miles of the Employee’s principal office; (v) any reduction in the Employee’s salary, other than

a reduction in salary generally applicable to substantially all Executive employees; or (vi) failure of the Company to pay the Employee

any amount otherwise vested and due under this Agreement or under any plan or policy of the Company following written notice by the Employee

to the Company identifying the failure and the basis for such payment and the Company’s failure to cure within 10 days following

receipt of such written notice. In no event will a resignation be deemed to occur for “Good Reason” unless the Employee provides

notice to the Company, and such resignation occurs within 90 days after the event or condition giving rise thereto. Upon receiving notice

from the Employee, the Company shall have a period of 30 days during which it may remedy the event or condition, except for an alleged

event under Paragraph 5(d)(vi), under which the Company shall have 10 days following written notice from the Employee.

(e)

Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean that one or more of the following has occurred: (i)

the Employee is convicted of a felony or pleads guilty or nolo contendere to a felony (whether or not with respect to the Company

or any of its affiliates); (ii) a failure of the Employee to substantially perform his responsibilities and duties to the Company which,

to the extent curable, is not remedied within 10 days after the Employee’s receipt of written notice given by any member of the

Board identifying the failure in reasonable detail and granting the Employee an opportunity to cure such failure within such 10 day period;

(iii) the failure of the Employee to carry out or comply with any lawful and reasonable directive of the Board (or any committee of the

Board), which, to the extent curable, is not remedied within 10 days after the Employee’s receipt of written notice given by or

on behalf of the Company identifying the failure in reasonable detail and granting the Employee an opportunity to cure such failure within

such 10 day period; (iv) the Employee engages in illegal conduct, any breach of fiduciary duty (if any), any act of material dishonesty

or other misconduct, in each case in this clause (iv), against the Company or any of its affiliates; (v) a material violation or willful

breach by the Employee of any of the policies or procedures of the Company, including, without any limitation, any employee manual, handbook

or code of conduct of the Company which, to the extent curable, is not remedied within 10 days after the Employee’s receipt of

written notice given by or on behalf of the Company identifying the violation or breach in reasonable detail and granting the Employee

an opportunity to cure such violation or breach within such 10 day period; (vi) the Employee fails to meet any material obligation the

Employee may have under any agreement entered into with the Company which, to the extent curable, is not remedied within 10 days after

the Employee’s receipt of written notice given by any member of the Company identifying the failure in reasonable detail and granting

the Employee an opportunity to cure such failure within such 10 day period; (vii) the Employee’s failure to maintain any required

applicable license, permit or card required by the federal or state authorities or a political subdivision or agency thereof (or the

confidentiality or other restrictive covenant to which the Employee may be subject, pursuant to an employment agreement or otherwise.

(f)

under this Agreement, such termination will constitute his resignation and removal from: (i) if a member, the Board and/or Board of directors

of any subsidiary of the Company, or any other board to which he has been appointed or nominated by or on behalf of the Company; (ii)

any position with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, as an officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,

Payments and Benefits upon Termination after a Change in Control. If within 90 days prior to, or one year after, a Change in Control

(as defined below), the Company (or its successor) terminates the Employee’s employment for reasons other than for Cause, the Employee

incurs a Disability or if the Employee voluntarily terminates his employment for Good Reason, and subject to the provisions of this Section

6(a), Section 9(a) and Section 9(f) (including the timely execution and non-revocation of a Release), the Company will provide

the following payments and benefits to the Employee, in lieu of those payments and benefits provided under Section 5(a)(v) and

Section 5(b) or (c), as applicable, but in addition to the amounts payable under Sections 5(a)(i) through 5(a)(iv)

above:

(i)

An amount equal to 1.5 multiplied by the Employee’s Base Salary. This cash payment will be paid to the Employee on the 60th

day following the date of the Employee’s termination; provided, however, that if the Change in Control does not constitute

a “change in control event” pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5)(i), then to the extent that the cash payment does

not qualify as a short-term deferral under Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4), or for the exclusion for separation

pay due to an involuntary separation from service to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)

then the payment shall be made in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 5(c) (as may be modified in accordance with

Section 9(a)).

(ii)

An amount in cash equal to 1.5 multiplied by the sum of the Executive’s Annual Bonus. For this purpose, “Annual Bonus”

means the greater of: (A) the actual bonus paid for the fiscal year immediately preceding such termination; (B) the actual bonus attained

for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs; or (C) the target bonus for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs. This

cash payment will be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the 60th day following the date of the Executive’s termination;

provided, however, that if the Change in Control does not constitute a “change in control event” pursuant to Treas. Reg.

§1.409A-3(i)(5)(i), then to the extent that the cash payment does not qualify as a short-term deferral under Code Section 409A and

Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4), or for the exclusion for separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service to the extent

permitted under Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) then the payment shall be made in accordance with the schedule

set forth in Section 5(c) (as may be modified in accordance with Section 9(a)).

(iii)

Continued coverage under the Company’s medical, dental, life, and disability plans through the 18-month anniversary of the date

that Employee’s employment was terminated, at the same cost to the Employee as in effect on the date of the Change in Control (or,

if lower, as in effect at any time thereafter). Any continuation of group health plan benefits is conditioned upon the Employee timely

electing COBRA continuation coverage and timely paying his share of the premium. If the Company determines that the Employee cannot participate

in any benefit plan because he is not actively performing services for the Company, the Company may provide such benefits under an alternate

arrangement, such as through the purchase of an individual insurance policy that provides similar benefits or a lump sum cash payment

equal to the cost that the Company would have paid under the plan(s) for which coverage would have otherwise been available. Any cash

amounts payable under an alternative arrangement will be paid to the Employee on the 60th day after the date of the Employee’s

termination; provided, however, that any alternative arrangement provided through an insurance policy (e.g., health care

and disability insurance) will be paid when the related premiums are due to the insurer.

Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any obligation of the Company to provide any payment, coverage or benefit described in this

Section 6(a) is conditioned upon the Executive executing and delivering to the Company a Release in a form reasonably satisfactory

to the Company and within the timelines specified by the Company. In accordance with the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Employee

will be provided an extended period of time to consider the terms of the release before signing, and no benefits shall be payable until

the consideration period and any revocation periods have passed. Except for the payments outlined in Section 5(a), no compensation

will be due and payable to the Employee until after the Company receives a fully executed original of the Release, and any applicable

revocation periods have expired.

(b)

Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of the Agreement, a “Change in Control” of the Company will be

deemed to occur as of the first day that one or more of the following conditions is satisfied:

(i)

The “beneficial ownership” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange

Act”)) of securities representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the

Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Company Voting Securities”) is accumulated,

held or acquired by a “Person” (as defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, as modified and used in Sections

13(d) and 14(d) thereof) (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of

the Company, holders of capital stock of the Company as of the date hereof or a subsidiary thereof, any corporation owned, directly or

indirectly, by the Company’s stockholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company); provided,

however, that any acquisition from the Company or any acquisition pursuant to a transaction that complies with clauses (A), (B) and

immediately prior to such accumulation, holding or acquisition, such Person was not a direct or indirect beneficial owner of 15% or more

of the Company Voting Securities as of the date of this Agreement; or

(ii)

Individuals who, as of the date of the Agreement, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason

to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date

hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority

of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board;

(iii)

Consummation by the Company of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of

the assets of the Company or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity (a “Business Combination”), in each

case, unless immediately following such Business Combination: (A) more than 50% of the combined voting power of then outstanding voting

securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the

“Surviving Corporation”), or (y) if applicable, a corporation that as a result of such transaction owns the Company

or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries (the “Parent Corporation”),

is represented, directly or indirectly by Company Voting Securities outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if

applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination),

and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such

Business Combination, of the Company Voting Securities; (B) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the

Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 40% or more of the combined

voting power of the then outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent

Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) except to the extent that (x) such ownership of the Company existed prior to the Business Combination

or (y) that immediately prior to such Business Combination, such Person was a direct or indirect beneficial owner of 15% or more of the

Company Voting Securities as of the date of this Agreement, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the

Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) were members of the Incumbent Board at the time

of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination.

Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in no event will a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred with respect to the Employee

if the Employee is part of a purchasing group that consummates the Change in Control transaction. The Employee will be deemed “part

of a purchasing group” for purposes of the preceding sentence if the Employee is an equity participant in the purchasing company

or group (except (i) passive ownership of less than two percent of the stock of the purchasing company; or (ii) ownership of equity participation

in the purchasing company or group that is otherwise not significant, as determined prior to the Change in Control by a majority of the

nonemployee continuing Directors.

Employee Nondisclosure, Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Inventions Agreement. As a condition of the Employee’s employment

by the Company and the payment of compensation and receipt of benefits referred to above, the Employee will enter into an Employee Nondisclosure,

Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Inventions Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ENNNI Agreement”),

containing confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition restrictive covenants. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that execution

and compliance with the ENNNI Agreement, the terms of which ENNNI Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, is an essential term

and condition of this Agreement and that the ENNNI Agreement is supported by adequate and sufficient consideration, including but not

limited to the Employee’s employment with the Company. In the event any part of the ENNNI becomes prohibited by law, such part

shall be severed from the ENNNI, and the rest of the ENNNI shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Indemnification and Insurance. The Company will indemnify the Employee in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation

and Bylaws to the fullest extent permitted by law in the event he is made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding,

whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, or employee of

the Company and its subsidiaries, or serves any other enterprise as a director, officer, or employee at the request of the Company. While

employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company will maintain the Employee as an insured party on all directors’

and officers’ insurance maintained by the Company for the benefit of its directors and officers on at least the same basis as all

other covered individuals (and subject to the same exclusions from coverage) with respect to time periods where the Employee served as

an employee of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Compliance with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations.

(a)

Payments under Sections 5(c) and 6(a) of this Agreement are intended to qualify as short-term deferrals or otherwise be exempt

from Code Section 409A. However, if the Company reasonably determines that a payment under Section 5(c) or 6(a) above does not

qualify as a short-term deferral under Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4), or for the exclusion for separation pay

due to an involuntary separation from service to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)

and the Employee is a Specified Employee (as defined below) as of the date of termination, such payment to the Employee may not be made

before the date that is six months after the date of his separation from service or, if earlier, the date of the Employee’s death.

Payments to which the Employee would otherwise be entitled during the first six months following the date of separation will be accumulated

and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the date of termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Specified

Employee” has the meaning given in Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(c)(i). The Company’s “specified

employee identification date” (as described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(c)(i)(3)) will be December 31 of each year, and the Company’s

“specified employee effective date” (as described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(c)(i)(4)) will be February 1 of each succeeding

year.

(b)

This Agreement is intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations and

other administrative guidance issued thereunder, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with

the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A.

(c)

Each payment or installment under this Agreement shall constitute a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

(d)

To the extent that any amount payable upon termination of employment constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject

to the requirements of Code Section 409A, any reference to such termination shall mean a “separation from service” (as defined

in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1 (h)).

(e)

With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by

Code Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit,

(ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses

eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that the foregoing clause

(ii) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Code Section 105(b) solely because such

arrangement provides for a limit on the amount of expenses that may be reimbursed over some or all of the period the arrangement is in

effect and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the expenses

was incurred.

(f)

In the event that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm or the Internal Revenue Service determines that any

payment, coverage or benefit due or owing to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the additional tax imposed by Code

Section 409A or any successor provision thereof or any interest or penalties, including interest imposed under Code Section 409(A)(1)(B)(i)(I),

incurred by the Employee as a result of the application of such provision, the Company agrees to cooperate with the Employee to execute

any amendment to the provisions hereof reasonably necessary but only (i) to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such

tax, and (ii) to the extent that the Company would not, as a result, suffer any adverse consequences (including, without limitation,

accelerating the payment or provision of any benefit described herein).

(g)

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 or any other provision of this Agreement, if any payment under this Agreement gives

rise, directly or indirectly, to liability for an additional income tax or penalty under Code Section 409A (and/or any penalties and/or

interest with respect to such additional income tax or penalty), the Employee shall bear the cost of any and all such taxes, penalties

and interest.

the Company may assign this Agreement to any successor (whether by merger, purchase or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the

stock, assets or businesses of the Company, and Employee consents to any such assignment. The assignment shall also automatically have

the effect of adding the assignee as a party to this Agreement, including adding the assignee to all provisions that survive the termination

NONSOLICITATION

AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT

This

Employee Nondisclosure, Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Inventions Agreement (referred to as the “Agreement”) is entered

into on July ____, 2026, by and between Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (referred to as the “Company”) and me.

desire to be employed by the Company, and the Company desires to employ me; however, as a condition of my employment, the Company requires

that I agree to the terms of and execute this Agreement. I understand that if I do not agree to the terms of and execute this Agreement,

the Company is unwilling to hire and/or retain me and pay me compensation for my employment. Accordingly, I agree as follows:

1. At-Will

Employment. I understand and acknowledge that my employment with the Company is for

an unspecified duration and constitutes “at-will” employment. Any representation,

statement or implication to the contrary is unauthorized and not valid unless in writing

and signed by both Employee and CEO of the Company. I acknowledge that this employment relationship

may be terminated at any time, with or without cause, for any cause, or for no cause, at

the option of either the Company or myself, and with or without notice.

2. Confidential,

Proprietary and Trade Secret Information.

a) I

understand that “Personal Property” refers to all tangible property including

but not limited to paper, storage devices, computers, phones, automobiles, machines, tools,

equipment, models, molds, any document, record, customer list, management analysis, notebook,

plan, model, component, device, tangible property, or computer software or code, whether

embodied in a disk or in any other form, etc., that is used, leased, owned or controlled

by the Company.

b) I

understand that “Proprietary Information” means all information that has

commercial value in the business in which the Company is engaged. By way of illustration,

but not limitation, Proprietary Information includes any and all technical and non-technical

information, including patents, copyrights, trade secrets, proprietary information and other

intellectual property and techniques, sketches, drawings, models, inventions, know-how, processes,

apparatus, equipment, algorithms, software programs, software source documents, formulating

recipes, and formulae related to the current, future and proposed products and services of

the Company, and includes, without limitation, respective information concerning research,

experimental work, development, design details and specifications, engineering, financial

information, procurement requirements, purchasing manufacturing, customer lists, business

forecasts, sales and merchandising and marketing plans and information.

i) “Proprietary

Information” also specifically includes but is not limited to joint ventures, exploration

programs, documentation and/or schematics; business proposals and communications; identities

of existing investors; details of current mineral exploration land packages, technical reports/studies

and associated technical data; and the identity of any persons or entities associated with

or engaged as consultants, advisers, or agents. “Proprietary Information” further

includes proprietary or confidential information of any third party who may disclose such

information to the Company or to the Employee in the course of the Company’s business.

c) I

understand that “Trade Secret Information” shall include any information

that is a Trade Secret as defined by the Nevada Uniform Trade Secrets Act.

d) I

understand that “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed

to me or known to me, either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or

observation of parts or equipment, as a consequence of or through my employment with the

Company, that is not generally known to the public or in the relevant trade or industry about

the Company’s business, products, processes, services, employees, investors, and suppliers.

(For purposes of this Agreement, Proprietary, Confidential, and Trade Secret Information

will be collectively referenced as “Information.”)

e) I

acknowledge that during the performance of my duties with the Company, I will receive and

have access to the Company’s Personal Property and Information. (To the extent I may

have acquired Company information while performing work for the Company prior to becoming

a Company employee, such Information shall be entitled to the same protections as Information

acquired during my course of employment with the Company.) Because of the nature of the Company’s

business, the protection of such Personal Property and Information is of vital concern to

the Company. This Information represents one of the most important assets of the Company

and enhances the Company’s opportunity for maintaining business and future growth.

f) In

exchange for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, I further covenant as follows:

i) Both

during and following employment, I will hold in strictest confidence the Company’s

Information, and will not disclose it to any individual or entity except with the specific

prior written consent of the company, or except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms

of this Agreement, or compelled by legal process. In the event I am required by law or a

court order to disclose any such Information, I shall promptly notify the Company of such

requirement and provide the Company with a copy of any court order or of any law which requires

such disclosure and, if the Company so elects, to the extent that it is legally able, permit

the Company an adequate opportunity, at its own expense, to contest such law or court order.

ii) Any

Trade Secrets of the Company will be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under

the Nevada Uniform Trade Secret Act and any other applicable law. If any information that

the Company deems to be a Trade Secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not

to be a Trade Secret for purposes of this Agreement, such information will, nevertheless,

be considered Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement. I hereby waive any

requirement that the Company submit proof of the economic value of any Trade Secret.

iii) I

will not remove from the Company’s premises (except to the extent such removal is for

purposes of the performance of my duties at home or while traveling, or except as otherwise

specifically authorized by the Company) the Company’s Personal Property and Information.

I recognize that, as between the Company and me, all of the Personal Property and Information,

whether or not developed by me, is the exclusive property of the Company.

iv) I

agree not to use any of the Company’s Personal Property or Information for any purpose,

except for the benefit of the Company, and I agree not to disclose, share, provide or allow

the use of the Company’s Personal Property or Information to or with any person, firm

or corporation without written authorization from the CEO. I agree to abide by the Company’s

policies and regulations for the protection of the Company’s Personal Property and

Information. I understand and agree that the unauthorized disclosure, removal or misuse of

such Personal Property or Information will irreparably damage the Company and/or third parties

dealing with the Company.

3. Protected

Rights

a) Notwithstanding

the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement, I understand that (a) I will not be held

criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure

of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a United States federal, state, or local

government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating

a suspected violation of law, (b) I will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any

federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a

complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made

under seal, and (c) an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for

reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the

individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual

files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade

secret, except pursuant to court order.

b) In

addition, I understand that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit me from

exercising any legal rights with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National

Labor Relations Board (NLRB), or any other federal, state or local agency charged with the

enforcement of any law applicable to the Company or participating in any investigation or

proceeding conducted by such agency. I understand that Section 7 of the National Labor Relations

Act guarantees employees the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations,

to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other

concerted activities for collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, as well

as the right to refrain from any or all such activities. Nothing contained in this Agreement

limits rights under the National Labor Relations Act.

c) Further,

I understand that except as otherwise provided in NRS 233.190, nothing in this Agreement

prohibits or restricts me from testifying at a judicial or administrative proceeding, when

the party has been required or requested to testify at the proceeding pursuant to a court

order, a lawful subpoena, or a written request by an administrative agency, and the proceeding

concerns the Company and its alleged commission of a criminal offense, an act of sexual harassment,

an act of discrimination based on race, religion, color, national origin, disability, sexual

orientation, gender identity or expression, ancestry, familial status, age or sex, or retaliation

for the reporting of such discrimination.

d) Finally,

with respect to sexual assault dispute or sexual harassment dispute, nothing in this Agreement

prohibits (i) disclosure or discussion of conduct, the existence of a settlement involving

conduct, or information covered by the terms and conditions of the contract or agreement;

or (ii) negative statements about another party that relates to the contract, agreement,

claim or case.

4. Past

Non-Disclosure. Subject to Paragraph 3, I have not used the Company’s Personal

Property or Information for any purpose, except for the benefit of the Company. I further

represent that I have not provided the Company’s Personal Property or Information to

any person, firm or corporation for any purpose, except for the benefit of the Company.

5. Non-Disclosure

of Former Employer Information. I agree that I will not, during my employment with

the Company, improperly use or disclose any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information

of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity, and that I will not bring

onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or confidential, proprietary or

trade secret information belonging to any such employer, person or entity unless consented

to in writing by such employer, person, or entity.

6. Inventions.

a) Inventions

Retained and Licensed. I have attached hereto, as Exhibit 1, a list describing all inventions,

original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and Trade Secrets that were made

by me prior to my employment with the Company (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”),

which belong to me, and which are not assigned to the Company hereunder; or, if no such list

is attached, by my signature to this Agreement I represent that there are no such Prior Inventions.

If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate into a Company product,

proceeds or machine a Prior Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest, the Company

is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide

license to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention as part of or in connection

with such product, process or machine.

b) Disclosure

and Assignment of Inventions. I agree that I will promptly make full written disclosure

to the Company of any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts,

improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas, techniques, methods, formulas, processes, trademarks

or Trade Secrets, whether or not patentable or registerable under copyright or similar laws,

which I may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice during the period

of time I am in the employ of the Company (collectively referred to as “Inventions”).

I further agree that any and all such Inventions are the sole and exclusive property of the

Company and that I will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, will

assign and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all my rights, titles, and interests

in and to any and all Inventions except as provided in the “Non-Assertion” sub-section

below. I hereby waive and quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever,

which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any patents, mask works or copyrights

resulting from any such application for letters patent or mask work or copyright registrations

assigned hereunder to the Company.

c) Works

for Hire. I further acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made

by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of my employment

with the Company and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,”

(hereinafter “Works”) as that term is defined in the United States Copyright

Act or international law and the Company may file applications to register copyright as the

author thereof. I assign to the Company all rights, including all copyright rights throughout

the world, including all renewals and extensions thereof, in and to all Works created by

me, both past and future, during my employment by the Company. I will take whatever steps

the Company requests, including, but not limited to, placement of the Company’s proper

assist the Company or its nominees in filing applications to register claims of copyright

in such Works. I will not reproduce, distribute, display publicly, or perform publicly, alone

or in combination with any data processing or networks system, any Works of the Company without

the written permission of the Company.

d) Patent

and Copyright Registrations. I further agree to execute all applications, assignments,

contracts, and other instruments as the Company deems necessary to effectuate the intent

of this Agreement. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or

for any other reason to secure my signature on any such document, then I hereby irrevocably

designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent

and attorney, in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such

document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance

of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect

as if executed by me.

e) Maintenance

of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all

Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term of my employment with

the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other

format that may be specified by the Company. The records will be available to and remain

the sole property of the Company at all times.

f) Non-Assertion.

Except for matters listed in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement, I will not assert any rights as

to any inventions, copyrights, patents, discoveries, concepts, or ideas or improvements thereof,

or know-how related thereto, as having been made or acquired by me prior to my being employed

by the Company, or since the date of my employment and not otherwise covered by the terms

of this Agreement.

7. No

Solicitation of Employees. I acknowledge that the Company has invested substantial

time, effort and expense in training and assembling its present staff. In order to protect

that investment by the Company, for a period of one (1) year following the termination of

my employment with the Company, regardless of the reason for such termination, I will not

hire, attempt to hire or solicit any individual who is an employee of the Company at the

time of termination or was an employee of the Company at any time during the year preceding

termination of my employment with the Company.

8. No

Solicitation of Business from Customers or Business Partners. I agree that I, whether

acting directly or indirectly, whether as a principal, consultant, employee, owner, shareholder,

director, officer, partner, advisor, agent, financier, independent contractor or otherwise,

during the period of my employment with the Company and for a period of 1 year immediately

following the termination of my employment for any reason (voluntary or involuntary), whether

with or without cause:

a) Will

not either directly or indirectly, either for myself or for any other person or entity, solicit,

induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s Customers (as defined below) to reduce

or negatively change or otherwise alter their existing relationship, course of dealing or

level of business with the Company. This prohibition specifically includes soliciting, inducing,

recruiting or encouraging any of the Company’s Customers to send or do business with

an alternative business or entity;

b) Solicit

competing business from any Customer or Prospective Customer, Business Partner, or Prospective

Business Partner of the Company.

For

purposes of this Agreement, a “Customer” is any person or entity to whom the Company has sold any of its products or services

in the 2 years preceding my separation from employment with the Company. A “Prospective Customer” is any person or entity

to whom the Company has provided a written proposal to deliver products or services in the 1 year preceding my separation from employment

with the Company. A “Business Partner” is an individual or entity who is a property owner or joint venture partner associated

with the Company. A “Prospective Business Partner” is an individual or entity whom the Company is or was actively pursuing

as a potential partner or a business associate, as evidenced by outstanding written proposals from the Company to the prospective partner

or business associate at any time during the 1 year preceding the termination of my employment with the Company.

9. Non-Competition.

I agree that during the period of my employment with the Company and for a period of 1 year

immediately following the termination of my employment with the Company for any reason (voluntary

or involuntary), within the Protected Areas, I, whether acting directly or indirectly, whether

as a principal, consultant, employee, owner, shareholder, director, officer, partner, advisor,

agent, financier, independent contractor or otherwise, will not:

a) Either

directly or indirectly, for myself or any third party, divert or attempt to divert any business

of the Company;

b) Accept

any position or affiliation with a company as a result of which I will, in the regular and

ordinary course of business, necessarily be called upon, required, or expected to reveal,

base judgments on, or otherwise use Information that I have received during my employment

with the Company;

c) Engage

or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, or participate in, lend my name or

credit to, or render services or advice to, any business that conducts gold mining or mine

exploration, provided, however, that the beneficial ownership of less than 5% of any class

of securities of any entity having a class of equity securities actively traded on a national

securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market will not be deemed, in and of itself, to violate

the prohibitions of this paragraph.

The

“Protected Areas” for purposes of this Agreement shall constitute the State of Nevada and other mineral districts in which

the Company (i) is engaging in business or actively pursuing an exploration, development or mining opportunity, as evidenced by outstanding

proposals from the Company to the prospective partner or individual entity with whom the Company is pursuing a business relationship

at the time of termination of my employment with the Company.

10. Extension

of Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete Covenants. The period of time applicable to the

covenants not to solicit and not to compete will be extended by the duration of any violation

by me of such covenant(s). In addition, the time periods applicable to the covenants not

to solicit employees and not to compete will be extended by the duration of any period of

time during which I am retained as a consultant to the Company or an independent contractor

by the Company (in any capacity).

11. Limitation

on Non-Competition Obligations in Cases of Reductions in Force, Reorganization, or Similar

Restructuring. I understand that if my employment with the Company terminates as

a result of a reduction in force, reorganization, or similar restructuring, the non-competition

covenant will only be enforceable during the period in which the Company is paying my salary,

benefits, or equivalent compensation.

12. Returning

Personal Property and Confidential, Proprietary, or Trade Secret Information. Upon

termination of employment, or upon the request of the Company during employment, I will return

to the Company all of the Personal Property and Information in my possession or subject to

my control, and I shall not retain any copies, abstracts, sketches, or other physical embodiment

of any of the Personal Property or Information. I also agree that I will not recreate, copy

or deliver to anyone else any Personal Property and Information of the Company.

13. Reasonableness

of Restrictions. I agree and acknowledge that the restrictions of this Agreement

are reasonable and necessary and will not prevent me from obtaining adequate and gainful

employment upon termination of my employment with the Company.

14. Duty

of Loyalty. I agree that during my employment with the Company, I will not participate

in, assist, or take any action designed to benefit a person or entity engaging in any business

that competes or plans to compete with the Company.

15. Survival.

Termination of my employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, whether with or without cause

(even if I believe such termination is in violation of the law or contract), shall not impair

or relieve me of my obligations set forth in this Agreement, which shall survive the termination.

16. Remedies

and Relief. I agree that it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate

the Company’s damages and that the Company will be immediately and irreparably harmed

by any breach of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, I agree

that in addition to any remedies at law or equity that may be available to the Company for

such breach, the Company may also seek specific performance, seek appropriate injunctive

relief to prevent a breach and seek any other relief that may be available. Such relief shall

be in addition to other remedies available and shall not constitute an election of remedies.

a) Costs

and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that a dispute under this Agreement arises, the

prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs

incurred in pursuing or defending the matter.

b) Indemnity.

I agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against (i) any and all claims,

demands, proceedings, suits, and actions against the Company and (ii) any and all losses,

liabilities, damages, and costs suffered by the Company, resulting from any breach of this

Agreement.

Provisions.

a) Governing

Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. The laws of the state of Nevada shall govern this

Agreement. In any legal proceeding arising under this Agreement, the venue shall be in Washoe

County, Nevada, and Employee consents to personal jurisdiction in Nevada and Washoe County.

The venue choice set forth herein shall not limit or restrict the Company’s right,

at its sole discretion, to pursue the equitable, injunctive or specific performance remedies

set forth in this Agreement in any jurisdiction or venue where I may be found or where a

breach or threatened breach may or has occurred.

b) Entire

Agreement; Enforcement of Right. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding

between the Company and me relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions

between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights

under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing signed by me and the CEO. No oral

waiver, amendment or modification will be effective under any circumstances whatsoever. The

failure by either party to enforce any rights hereunder will not be construed as a waiver

of any rights of such party. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation

will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

c) Enforceability.

The parties intend that the covenants contained in this section shall be construed as a series

of separate covenants. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be wholly or partially

99.1

Hycroft

Appoints Michael Deal as Chief Operating Officer

WINNEMUCCA,

NV, July 15, 2026 – Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: HYMC) (“Hycroft” or “the Company”),

a U.S.-based gold and silver development company that owns the Hycroft Mine, today announced the appointment of Michael Deal as Senior

Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective August 24, 2026.

Mr.

Deal brings more than 20 years of operating and technical leadership experience across complex, multi-asset gold and silver operations

in North America, with a proven track record of building, scaling, and optimizing operations through disciplined capital allocation,

technical rigor, and operational excellence.

Most

recently, Mr. Deal served as Vice President, Operations at First Majestic Silver, where he provided enterprise leadership across a portfolio

of operating mines and development assets and served as Executive Lead for the integration of a $1 billion acquisition. He also directed

annual capital programs exceeding $300 million while improving production, safety performance, and operating discipline.

Mr.

Deal previously held senior operating and technical leadership roles with Nevada Gold Mines, OceanaGold, Romarco Minerals, and Newmont

Corporation, spanning open-pit and underground mining, heap leaching, milling, flotation, roasting, autoclave processing, and refractory

ore treatment.

During

his time with Nevada Gold Mines, Mr. Deal managed processing operations at the Carlin Complex, including the Goldstrike roaster and autoclave

facilities, as well as Gold Quarry’s roaster, concentrator, and heap leach operations. He led initiatives focused on refractory

processing performance, recovery optimization, cost reduction, and extending the life of critical processing infrastructure across one

of the world’s largest gold-producing operations.

Mr.

Deal also played a key leadership role in the construction, commissioning, and ramp-up of the Haile Gold Mine in South Carolina, successfully

transitioning the operation from development into production. Throughout his career, he has consistently delivered improvements in safety,

production, recovery, and operating performance while building high-performing teams and systems.

Diane

Garrett, Executive Chairman and CEO, said, “Michael’s deep technical and operating experience is directly relevant to our

strategy of advancing Hycroft to the next phase of operations. Michael will be instrumental in reviewing our many options for developing

the mine with a primary focus on the two high-grade silver systems – Brimstone and Vortex. His extensive background building and

managing sulfide processing operations — including roasters and autoclaves in Nevada — and in building the systems, teams

and discipline needed to run them safely and profitably at scale is exactly the caliber of operating leadership we need as we advance

and prepare the Hycroft Mine for future development.”

Mr.

Deal added, “Hycroft represents a rare opportunity to help advance one of North America’s largest gold and silver assets.

The combination of a large-scale resource base, Nevada jurisdiction, and significant metallurgical and exploration upside creates tremendous

potential. I have spent my career building the operating systems, technical discipline, and high-performing teams required to safely

advance complex assets. I look forward to working with the Hycroft team to systematically advance the project and build the foundation

for long-term value creation.”

Mr.

Deal serves on the SME Foundation Board of Directors and has previously served on the Nevada Mining Association Board of Directors and

the Nevada Mineral Processing Division Board. He is a Registered Member and Qualified Person (QP) with the Society for Mining, Metallurgy

& Exploration (SME). Mr. Deal holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Economics from the Colorado

School of Mines and an MBA from Arizona State University.

Cautionary

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This

press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,

Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements,

other than statements of historical fact, included in this press release and in public statements by our officers or representatives

that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.

These include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future business strategy, plans and goals, competitive strengths, the advancement

and development of the Hycroft Mine, the results and implications of metallurgical analysis and test work, and the expansion and growth

of our business.

Forward-looking

statements are often identified by future or conditional words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “anticipate,”

“expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “target,” “budget,” “may,” “can,”

“will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “seeks,” “scheduled to” and

similar words or expressions but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements

are based on current expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual

results to differ materially from those reflected in the statements. The risks include, but are not limited to: (i) risks related to

changes in our operations at the Hycroft Mine, including risks associated with the cessation of mining operations at the Hycroft Mine;

uncertainties concerning estimates of mineral resources; risks related to the lack of a completed feasibility study; risks related to

metallurgical test work and process development; and risks related to our ability to re-establish commercially feasible mining and processing

operations; and (ii) industry-related risks, including fluctuations in the price of gold and silver; the commercial success of, and risks

related to, our exploration and development activities; uncertainties and risks related to our reliance on contractors and consultants;

and the availability and cost of equipment, supplies, energy or reagents.

Any

exploration target described in this press release does not represent, and should not be construed to be, an estimate of a mineral resource

or mineral reserve. Ranges of potential tonnage and grade (or quality) of an 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

and other risks may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, and

the occurrence of one or more of these events or circumstances, alone or in combination with others, may have a material adverse effect

on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Please see the “Risk Factors” outlined in our

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in other reports filed with the SEC, for more information about

these and other risks.

Given

these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we have attempted

to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements,

there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Although these forward-looking statements

are based on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance

and actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements

in this press release.

Any

forward-looking statements made in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to

update these forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of those statements to reflect future

events or developments, except as required by law.
