Hole DKD040 confirmed better-than-expected mineralization, including 86.6 m at 0.45% CuEq and 163.9 m at 0.43% CuEq. Visual estimates from other holes \(DKD049, DKP052, DKP053, DKP054\) indicate significant extensions of the high-grade core and near-surface mineralization, with assays pending for these and other holes. Reasoning: The drill results confirm significant extensions and higher-grade zones within the La Verde copper-gold porphyry system, expanding the known mineralization and improving confidence in the deposit's potential, particularly in areas previously interpreted as lower grade. However, several holes are still awaiting assay results. - Positive factor: Significant widths of strong copper equivalent mineralization - Positive factor: Expansion of high-grade core - Positive factor: Better-than-expected results in previously lower-grade areas - Positive factor: Confirmation of near-surface mineralization - Positive factor: Step-out drilling extending mineralization - Negative factor: Assay results pending for several visually estimated holes - Negative factor: Metal equivalent calculation uses a proxy \(Cortadera\) for recoveries Facts used in scoring: 9 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Assay results are pending and will be reported in accordance with the JORC Code \(2012\) and National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Christian Easterday, MAIG, Hot Chili's Managing Director, reviewed and approved technical information, and is a qualified person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 and a Competent Person as defined in JORC Code \(2012\). Evidence · text > Assay results are pending and will be reported in accordance with the JORC Code \(2012\) and National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Sampling methodologies are described in the attached JORC Table 1. Christian Easterday, MAIG, Hot Chili's Managing Director, reviewed and approved technical information, and is a qualified person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects . For further information, please refer to the Company's technical report titled "Costa Fuego Project, NI 43-101 Technical Report Preliminary Feasibility Study", with an effective date of 27 March 2025, a copy of which is available for review under the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR+ \( www.sedarplus.ca \). Competent Person – JORC The information in this announcement that relates to Exploration Results and Exploration Targets for the La Verde project is based upon information compiled by Mr Christian Easterday, the Managing Director and a full-time employee of Hot Chili Limited, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists \(AIG\). Mr Easterday has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a 'Competent Person' as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' \(JORC Code\). Mr Easterday consents to the inclusion in this announcement of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears. **Compositing Transparent** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals. Why it applies: Significant intercepts for La Verde are reported above a nominal cut-off grade of 0.20% Cu. Reported intersections may include internal dilution \(intervals below 0.20% Cu\), including zones exceeding 30 m downhole width, where the overall weighted average grade of the intersection remains above the cut-off grade. Evidence · text > Significant intercepts for La Verde are reported above a nominal cut-off grade of 0.20% Cu. Reported intersections may include internal dilution \(intervals below 0.20% Cu\), including zones exceeding 30 m downhole width, where the overall weighted average grade of the intersection remains above the cut-off grade. **Metal Equivalent Opaque** Polarity: negative Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Requires an actual metal equivalent grade; a combined elemental basket such as PGE is not a metal equivalent. Why it applies: Copper Equivalent \(CuEq\) reported for the drillhole intersections were calculated using the following formula: CuEq% = \(\(Cu% × Cu price 1% per tonne × Cu\_recovery\) + \(Mo ppm × Mo price per g/t × Mo\_recovery\) + \(Au ppm × Au price per g/t × Au\_recovery\) + \(Ag ppm × Ag price per g/t × Ag\_recovery\)\) / \(Cu price 1% per tonne × Cu\_recovery\). The Metal Prices applied in the calculation were: Cu=4.50 USD/lb, Au=3,150 USD/oz, Mo=20 USD/lb, and Ag=30 USD/oz. The recovery and copper equivalent formula for La Verde uses Cortadera as a proxy, which is considered reasonable given both the similar mineralisation style and amenability testwork completed thus far at La Verde – Recoveries of 83% Cu, 56% Au, 83% Mo and 37% Ag. Evidence · text > Copper Equivalent \(CuEq\) reported for the drillhole intersections were calculated using the following formula: CuEq% = \(\(Cu% × Cu price 1% per tonne × Cu\_recovery\) + \(Mo ppm × Mo price per g/t × Mo\_recovery\) + \(Au ppm × Au price per g/t × Au\_recovery\) + \(Ag ppm × Ag price per g/t × Ag\_recovery\)\) / \(Cu price 1% per tonne × Cu\_recovery\). The Metal Prices applied in the calculation were: Cu=4.50 USD/lb, Au=3,150 USD/oz, Mo=20 USD/lb, and Ag=30 USD/oz. The entirety of the intersection is assumed as fresh. The recovery and copper equivalent formula for La Verde uses Cortadera as a proxy, which is considered reasonable given both the similar mineralisation style and amenability testwork completed thus far at La Verde – Recoveries of 83% Cu, 56% Au, 83% Mo and 37% Ag. CuEq \(%\) = Cu\(%\) + 0.69 x Au\(g/t\) + 0.00044 x Mo\(ppm\) + 0.0043 x Ag\(g/t\). **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: Intervals are reported as downhole widths, with no true width stated. Evidence · text > Interval \(m\) **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: DKD049 was a 175 m step-out hole from previously interpreted mineralisation, significantly expanding La Verde's higher-grade core. Evidence · text > Importantly, the diamond hole was a 175 m step-out hole from previously interpreted mineralisation. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9.
