Magna Terra Retains Large Drill Ready Boleadora Project from Newmont
MAGNA TERRA RETAINS LARGE DRILL READY BOLEADORA PROJECT FROM
NEWMONT
Toronto, Ontario – April 29, 2025 – Magna Terra Minerals Inc . (the “Company” or “ Magna Terra”) (TSX-V:
MTT) announces through its 100% owned Argentine subsidiary Atala Resources S.A. (“Atala”) , that it has retained
the large Boleadora Project (“Boleadora”) from Oroplata S.A. (“Oroplata”) , a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation
(“Newmont”). Boleadora encompasses ~ 55,000 hectares in 12 exploration licenses located 17 kilometres southeast
along strike from Newmont’s Cerro Negro mine along the Margaritas-Boleadoras Corridor, the host to both projects
located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina (Figure 1).
Oroplata has provided Atala with a formal notice of termination of the underlying Option to Purchase Agreement
thereby returning control of Boleadora to the Company (refer to the Company’s press releases dated March 26, 2024
and June 9, 2020 for details of the agreement).
“We would like to thank the Newmont e xploration team at Cerro Negro for the detailed exploration work completed
at Boleadora. Work completed by Newmont to date at Boleadora has outlined a large 10 by 8 kilometre zone of
anomalous precious-metal and pathfinder elements. This work supports the potential existence of a low -sulphidation
epithermal environment associated with the Margaritas-Boleadoras Corridor along strike from the Cerro Negro mine.
The very recent lifting of the currency control regime (April 14 , 2025) announced by the Argentine government has
removed a significant barrier for exploration capital to enter the country and has resulted in Magna Terra receiving
significant incoming inquiry regarding our large and very prospective precious metals exploration portfolio in Santa
Cruz Province which includes Boleadora. We are very confident that this event along with the surging gold price will
bring renewed investor and corporate interest to mineral exploration in Argentina and specifically Santa Cruz as the
pre-eminent ‘Gold Province’ in the near term . As such, we will continue to seek strategic partners to advance our
large portfolio of well-located precious metals exploration projects in this highly prospective geological domain.”

Boleadora Project Highlights
• Large land package comprising ~55,000 hectares;
• 17 kilometres along strike from Newmont’s Cerro Negro Mine and associated with the Margaritas -
Boleadoras Corridor;
• Located in a geological environment that is host to large low-sulphidation epithermal gold deposits like Cerro
Negro as well as other large precious metals deposits in the prolific yet underexplored Deseado Massif region
of Santa Cruz Province;
• Recognition of a large 10 by 8 km exploration target area, corresponding with previously identified zones 1,
2, and 3 along the Margaritas -Boleadoras Corridor (Figure 2) , based on 2023 geochemical sampling and
hyperspectral surveying.
2023 Exploration Results
As detailed in a Technical Exploration Project report, prepared by Newmont geological staff and presented to the
Company in March 2024; Boleadora is underlain by extensive Jurassic volcanic sequences that include welded pumice
crystal-rich rhyolitic ignimbrites cut by bimodal subvolcanic domes. Main structural trends include northwest, north-
northwest, and east -west corridors with chalcedo nic and opaline silica veins with massive textures up to one -metre
wide, and silica sinter in up to 50 metre by 50 metre exposures that might correspond to shallower levels of a low-
sulphidation epithermal system ( Figure 2). This geology is favourable for hosting low -sulphidation epithermal gold
mineralization similar in style to the nearby Cerro Negro and Cerro Vanguardia deposits.
Since first assessing the project in 2019, Newmont subsidiary Oroplata collected 233 rock-chip samples (surface float
and outcrop), 134 drainage sediment samples for analysis via Bulk Leach Extractable Gold (“BLEG”), 526 Terrain
Mapping Geochemistry (‘TMG ’) soil samples and completed a hyperspectral survey covering the main geological
areas of interest. This includes 526 TMG samples and 35 rock-chip samples collected in 2023 that have further refined
and supported the exploration targets identified on the property to date.
