(e) On February 9, 2026, the board of directors (the “Board”) of International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (the “Company”), on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved an increase in the base salary for Karl Hanneman, Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”), to US$342,538 per year. Mr. Hanneman had previously accepted a voluntary reduction in his base salary in 2018 due to a reduction in the amount of time required to perform the duties of CEO. The salary increase was approved in recognition of an increase in time required for Mr. Hanneman to perform his duties as CEO, from fifty percent (50%) to full time. The increase in salary is effective as of December 1, 2025.

In connection with the increase in base salary, the Company and Mr. Hanneman entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (the “Amended Employment Agreement”) to reflect his increased salary and time commitment. The remaining terms and conditions of his employment agreement will continue unchanged.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended Employment Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
