A new high-grade vein system has been discovered in hole MEC-2 at the ME target (located southeast of Apollo) with assay results as follows:0.65 metres @ 534.0 g/t gold from 274.5 metres downhole and0.90 metres @ 47.2 g/t gold from 291.8 metres downholeShortly after completing hole MEC-2 and at the onset of hole MEC-3, drilling was halted as the preliminary results from the new gravimetric survey were received by the Company, indicating that these holes were drilled outside of the gravity high. The Company interprets the new discovery in hole MEC-2 to be high-grade vein leakage from a potentially large, mineralized breccia body located within the gravity high to its immediate south. Drilling has recommenced at ME targeting the gravity high with additional results expected in due course.A new gravimetric survey was completed over a two-square-kilometre portion of the Guayabales Project covering the corridor running from the Apollo system to the concession boundary with Aris Mining's Marmato mine with compelling highlights as follows:Confidence in the survey is robust as it proved extremely effective in identifying Apollo as a gravity-high due to the high concentration of breccia hosted sulphides in the system. Seven new gravity anomalies, with near-identical gravimetric features to Apollo, have been identified within the survey corridor including one located directly southwest of Apollo named Apollo South, three in the ME target area, one in the X target area and two in the Plutus target area. Diamond drilling with two rigs to test both the ME and X gravimetric high anomalies will commence immediately with the balance of the gravity targets to be tested shortly thereafter.

A new high–grade sub-zone ("HZ2"), enriched in copper and silver, has been discovered in the Apollo system. HZ2, which remains open for expansion, is the second high-grade sub-zone found by the Company with assay results as follows:114.40 metres @ 4.14 g/t AuEq (1.06 g/t Au, 150 g/t Ag and 0.64% Cu) including; 57.25 metres @ 5.64 g/t gold equivalent (1.22 g/t Au, 221 g/t Ag and 0.89% Cu) in APC107-D5.159.05 metres @ 3.01 g/t AuEq (1.19 g/t Au, 98 g/t Ag and 0.43% Cu) including; 59.25 metres @ 5.01 g/t gold equivalent (1.63 g/t Au, 196 g/t Ag and 0.68% Cu) in APC107-D4.The original high-grade gold-rich sub-zone ("HZ1") first announced by the Company on December 16, 2024, has been extended 50 metres to the west by hole APC107-D2, which cut:67.50 metres @ 5.38 g/t AuEq within 377.85 metres @ 2.13 g/t gold equivalent.HZ1 now has dimensions of 230 metres of strike, 70 metres in thickness and over 180 metres vertical and includes previously announced intercepts of 150.55 metres @ 6.16 g/t AuEq (APC104-D1) and 106.35 metres @ 9.05 g/t AuEq (APC104-D5) (see press releases dated December 16, 2024, and February 24, 2025). HZ1 remains open in most directions.A potential third high-grade sub-zone, which requires follow-up confirmation drilling, has been intersected northwest of HZ2 in drill hole APC107-D3 as follows:123.75 metres @ 3.03 g/t AuEq (1.24 g/t Au, 91 g/t Ag and 0.43% Cu).The Company continues to target up to 11 potential high-grade sub-zones throughout the top 1,000 metres of the Apollo system with a goal of further improving the overall grade (and total mineral inventory).

High-grade tungsten, copper, silver and gold assay results have been received for the initial eight holes of a thirty-hole, shallow drilling program designed to outline, expand and design a future starter pit at the Apollo system. The Apollo system has been drilled over more than 1,200 metres vertically where it remains open for further expansion. The Apollo system can be separated vertically into four areas of metal zonation, with the top 150 metres from surface being a high-grade zone enriched in tungsten (scheelite), copper, gold and silver (see Figure 5).Four holes have cut near surface, tungsten dominant, high-grade mineralization with highlighted results as follows:124 metres @ 3.03 g/t AuEq or 0.66% WO3Eq (0.55 g/t gold, 86 g/t silver, 0.63% copper, and 0.16% WO3) from surface (APC-115).91 metres @ 3.04 g/t AuEq or 0.66% WO3Eq (0.85 g/t gold, 48 g/t silver, 0.39% copper and 0.32% WO3) from 56.15 metres depth and bottoming in high-grade mineralization (APC-110).The discovery of tungsten at Apollo is the first known hard-rock occurrence of this metal in the history of Colombia and is expected to be of strategic importance for the country. Given that the tungsten, hosted within easily recoverable scheelite, is located at the top of the Apollo system, it is expected to be extracted in the earliest portions of the mine-life as a by-product mineral to gold, silver and copper. Tungsten is a critical metal exempt from United States tariffs. Eighty per cent of the tungsten market is supplied by China and there is a looming 2027 deadline eliminating purchases by the United States military complex of tungsten produced or processed by China and Russia. Recently, the tungsten price has reached a twelve year high at approximately $14.75 per pound and is expected to remain buoyant over the foreseeable future (source: Reuters and Mining.com).

Drill hole SAC-11, directed to test the northern portion of the Pound target, discovered a gold and copper porphyry vein stockwork system intruding metagabbro country rock with assay results as follows:290.20 metres @ 0.84 g/t gold equivalent (0.58 g/t Au, 0.17% Cu, 3 g/t Ag, 70 ppm Mo) which includes higher density mineralized zones of:40.90 metres @ 1.44 g/t gold equivalent (1.02 g/t Au, 0.30% Cu, 4 g/t Ag, 100 ppm Mo) and 31.20 metres @ 1.23 g/t gold equivalent (0.76 g/t Au, 0.27% Cu, 5 g/t Ag, 200 ppm Mo)Given the high density of porphyry stockwork veins hosted within the metagabbro country rocks, the Company's Special Advisor and well-known porphyry expert Richard Tosdal believes a potential mineralized copper-gold porphyry system could be located proximal to the SAC-11 drill intercept. Two drill rigs are currently being mobilized to the Pound target to immediately begin following up on the discovery hole.The San Antonio project hosts a well-defined, 2.5-kilometer-long mineralized corridor hosting four drill-ready porphyry targets (including the Pound target). Given the early success at the Pound target, the Company will be aggressive with drilling at San Antonio over the balance of the year with a goal of drill testing each of these targets.The higher-grade zones of gold and copper in SAC-11 correlate well with a higher density of quartz and chalcopyrite veining suggesting that the porphyry source may in turn be high-grade.
