A second drill is expected to commence operations within the next few days, with additional drill rigs to mobilize in 2026. This significant milestone marks the beginning of the first drilling exploration program since 2016 at the flagship Pecoy Copper-Gold-Molybdenum-Silver Project (“\n \n Pecoy\n \n ” or the “\n \n Project\n \n ”) located in southern Peru.\n \n\n\n Drill Program Overview\n \n\n\n\n The initial drill hole has commenced in the South Breccia zone.

The program is supported by established community partnerships, ongoing development of on-site infrastructure, and continued local hiring initiatives.”\n \n\n The first drill hole (PEC25-065), commenced from a platform located in the South Breccia zone and is targeting high-grade continuit...
