4H Project Overview

The 4H Project is located in Sonora, Mexico, and comprises 9 concessions and contains a large porphyry copper-molybdenum system with surface measurements of at least four kilometres east-west by two kilometres north-south. The Company released a recent NI 43-101 report on the 4H Project in October 2023 which comprised a review of historical work. Historical resources were last estimated in 2008:

Primary sulphide mineralisation is chalcopyrite and molybdenite with secondary oxide chalcocite. **

Under the recent sampling program, the results of which were announced in a News Release dated January 11, 2024, grab samples were collected with a focus on the areas of the 4H Project that have received minimal historical attention. The results were highlighted with assays returning up to 16.25% Copper in the South Conglomerate Zone. The twenty samples in the South Conglomerate Zone averaged Copper grades of 1.736%. *

The South Conglomerate area is higher-grade, and the immediate development plan is to percussion drill this area to an inferred resource at minimal cost. This drilling along with permitting, metallurgy and acid-sourcing can be completed in the next 24 months. The soluble copper content in the North and South Conglomerates, in addition to the supergene zones contained in the 4H porphyry have the combined potential for a significant Heap Leach & SX-EW operation.

Cautionary Note

* The reader is cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and may not represent the true grade or style of mineralization across the property.
** The resource estimate is historical in nature and has not been verified by a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and should not be relied upon as a current mineral resource estimate. The Company is not treating these historical estimates as current mineral resources or reserves. While the historical estimates are relevant for providing context on the potential of the property, further work, including verification by a Qualified Person, will be required to upgrade or confirm this estimate.
