HIGHLIGHTS
Operational and financial highlights for the quarter ended February 28th, 2025 are set out below:
Operational
- In Colombia, on November 27, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Minera Monte Aguila S.A.S. ("Monte Aguila") as a result of which the Company now has 100% ownership of the Company's flagship Anzá Gold Project. The Company also re-took operatorship of the Anza Gold Project, commencing a drilling program at the Pepas prospect in late November 2024 which is still continuing and has produced some exceptional results, the details of which can be found in the Company's news releases on its website at www.orosur.ca.
In addition, on February 4, 2025, the Company announced that, following some surface sampling to the area immediately north of Pepas ("Pepas North"), a number of areas of mineralised material have been identified, with one large area along a small walking track exposing saprolite and semi-fresh rock. Over 100m of mineralisation was identified at surface, with samples taken at 1m intervals over the entire length of the exposure. Assay results averaged 1.15g/t Au over 105m, with individual samples at times exceeding 5g/t Au. This channel sample is at the southern extreme of the new Pepas North anomalous area, but over 200m north of the limit of current drilling. The Company is expected to commence drilling Pepas North during Q4 2025.
· In Argentina, on February 17, 2025, the Company announced the successful completion of the first phase of the two phase exploration joint venture over the El Pantano gold project in Santa Cruz province, Argentina ("Project" or "El Pantano"). This milestone marks a significant step forward in the Company's strategic development of the Project. Having invested US$1m over three years, the Company has now earned a direct 51% interest in the Argentine company, Deseado Dorado S.A.S ("Deseado"), that owns the exploration licences that make up the Project. The Company can now move to the second phase of the JV, that could see it move to 100% ownership of Deseado upon investment of an additional US$2m over two years. Upon such an outcome, the original vendors would then retain a residual 2% NSR royalty, 1% of which the Company could repurchase at its election for US$1m.
Post period end, a geo-physical campaign commenced with the objective of refining targets after which the Company will consider drilling, likely to take place later in 2025 subject to funding.
- In Nigeria, the Company will look to make some advances on its lithium project, but at a slower pace whilst lithium prices continue to recover.
Financial and Corporate
- At the Company's AGM, held on December 12, 2024 all resolutions put to shareholders were duly passed.

- Post period end, on March 27, 2025, the Company announced the closing of an oversubscribed private placement (the "Private Placement") which raised aggregate gross proceeds of C$6,000,000, including the full exercise of the broker's option for gross proceeds of C$1,000.000. Under the Private Placement, the Company sold an aggregate of 35,294,117 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of C$0.17 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company (each, a "Unit Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of C$0.25 at any time on or before March 27, 2027.
