NEWS RELEASE
Drilling Update at Filo Sur Project – 3 Drill Rigs Turning Now
February 26, 2025 - Mogotes Metals Inc. (TSXV: MOG, FSE:OY4, OTCQB: MOGMF) (“Mogotes”, or the “Company”)
is pleased to announce that drilling of key priority targets is advancing with three active drill rigs now on the Company’s
Filo Sur project located directly south of the large BHP/Lundin Filo Del Sol (FDS) Cu-Au-Ag resource1. (Figure 1 and
Figure 2 below).
CEO of Mogotes Allen Sabet commented:
“Our third diamond drill rig is now turning on the project. We have commenced drilling at our precious metals high-
sulphidation Meseta target in Chile, located directly south of the exceptional Filo del Sol Cu-Au-Ag resource. With the
third rig in place, we plan to test as many targets as possible (including priority Chilean target) while the drill season
allows. We look forward to updating the market as results flow through this drilling season.”
Drill Program Update
Drilling is planned to continue on priority targets highlighted in previous releases (see news release dated November
26, 2025). This season's program initially focused on lower-altitude targets in Argentina at Cruz del Sur and Stockwork
Hills, and has now advanced to the Argentine side of the Meseta and Camino prospects.
At Cruz del Sur, the originally planned single-hole drill test was expanded to four holes after encouraging geological
features were intercepted in the initial hole.
With a camp installed and access established, drilling is now advancing in Chile, currently testing the Meseta HSE Au-
Ag target located near to the Mogotes/BHP-Lundin property boundary. The program plans to move to the lower -
altitude Luz del Sol target (previously called Los Mogotes) as the season permits.
Drilling will continue until operational conditions necessitate closure of the program. Results are expected to be
released on a target-by-target basis as they are received and interpreted by the Company. Results from Cruz del Sur
and Stockwork Hills are expected in March.
PDAC 2025
Mogotes Metals will be exhibiting at PDAC 2025 in Toronto. The Mogotes team will be available to meet with investors
and stakeholders at Booth 2847. We invite attendees to visit us to learn more about the Filo Sur project and our
ongoing drill program.

Additional Information
The information contained in this news release was accurate at the time of dissemination but may be superseded by
subsequent news release(s). The Company is under no obligation, nor does it intend to update or revise the forward-
looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Qualified Persons
The scientific and technical disclosure for the Filo Sur project included in this news release have been reviewed and
approved by Stephen Nano who is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Nano is a Director and Technical
Advisor of the Company.
Note that the Qualified Person has not verified the information regarding adjacent properties such as Filo del Sol and
that the information regarding the mineralization of the Filo del Sol project is not necessarily indicative of the
mineralization on the Filo Sur project.
Mogotes applies industry standard exploration sampling methodologies and techniques. All geochemical soil, stream,
rock and drill samples are collected under the supervision of the company’s geologists in accordance with industry
practice. Geochemical assa ys are obtained and reported under a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)
program. Samples from Argentina are dispatched bagged in raffia bags and packaged for shipment by an exclusive
truck to the ALS laboratory in Mendoza, Argentina. Samples fro m Chile are dispatched bagged in raffia bags and
delivered to the ALS laboratory in Copiapo, Chile. These facilities carried out sample preparation (PREP -31B) which
includes crush to 70 % less than 2 mm, riffle split off 1kg, pulverize to 85% passing 75 microns. The prepared samples
are sent to the ALS laboratory in Lima, Peru for gold and multi- element analysis. Gold (Au-ICP21) was analyzed by
fire assay fusion with ICP-AES finish on a 30 g sample. Samples were also analyzed for a suit of 48 elements (ME -
MS61) with four acid digestion and ICP-MS finish.
Assay results from drill core samples may be higher, lower or similar to results obtained from surface rock, channel,
trench samples due to surficial oxidation and enrichment processes or due to natural geological grade variations in
the primary mineralization.
