NEWS RELEASE
Mogotes to acquire 100% of Argentina land package
February 11th, 2025 - Mogotes Metals Inc. (TSXV: MOG, FSE:AY4) (“Mogotes”, or the “Company”) announces
the signing of an agreement with Golden Arrow Resources Corp (“Golden Arrow”) on February 10th, 2025 to amend
the previously executed earn-in agreement covering the Argentine land package of Golden Arrow’s Filo Sur project.
Under the amended terms, Mogotes has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the project by providing a total of
C$1 million (in cash and through a private placement) plus approximately C$3.1 million in Mogotes common shares,
of which C$1.5 million is deferred by 12 months, and granting a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on the
project, of which 0.5% can be repurchased by Mogotes.
CEO Allen Sabet, said: “Upon completion, this amended agreement will grant us full ownership of key exploration
ground in Argentina, positioning the Company with multiple strategic options in the event of a discovery. We remain
confident in this region’s importance, given its strong track record for copper discoveries over the past decade. By
securing and consolidating the Vicuña district trend, we have strengthened Mogotes Metals’ foothold in a premier
copper exploration corridor. To date, Mogotes has systematically assembled approximately 10,000 hectares at our
Filo Sur project, which hosts the southern extension of the Vicuña Belt (Figures 2a and 2b).
Additionally the recently optioned CMP claims (TSXV:MOG, January 15th 2025. Vicuña District Consolidation:
Mogotes Signs Option on Exploration Claims Adjoining Filo Del Sol with CMP) host the direct southerly projection of
the Filo Del Sol – Tamberas alteration trend and the intersection with the large transorogen Macho Muerto Fault
zone, that management believes may play an important role in localizing mineralization at the Filo Sur Project (Figure
1b).
Key Terms of the Amended Option
1. Upfront Cash Payment:
Mogotes will pay $550,000 in cash to GRG within five days of receiving conditional approval from the TSX
Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).
2. Strategic Investment in GRG:
Mogotes will invest $450,000 in GRG via a private placement, subscribing for GRG units (“GRG Units”)
priced at the greater of $0.05 or the maximum discounted price permitted by the TSXV. Each GRG Unit
consists of one GRG common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.08 for a
three-year term.
3. Issuance of Mogotes Shares:
o Initial Shares: Mogotes will issue 10,714,285 common shares to GRG ($0.15 per share), on the
same date it makes the cash payment and investment (the “Initial Closing Date”).
o Deferred Shares or Cash: On or before the first anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (the “Final
Closing Date”), Mogotes will issue additional Mogotes Shares valued at $1,500,000. The number
of shares will be determined by the volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) on the TSXV,
subject to a minimum price threshold. If the share price is below the threshold, Mogotes may pay
the difference in cash or, with TSXV approval, additional shares. Mogotes may also choose, at its
discretion, to pay the entire $1,500,000 in cash instead of issuing shares.
4. Royalty Grant:
At the Final Closing Date, Mogotes will grant GRG a 1.5% net smelter returns (“NSR”) royalty on the
Properties. Mogotes retains the right to purchase 0.5% of this royalty for $2,000,000, reducing the NSR to
1.0%.
5. Lock-Up Provisions:
GRG’s newly issued Mogotes Shares are subject to a lock-up, with 50% released six months after the Final
Closing Date and the balance released in monthly installments over the next six months.
6. Disposal Procedure:
If GRG wishes to sell any of its Mogotes Shares once lock-up restrictions expire, Mogotes will have a 10-
day period to identify an alternative buyer at or above GRG’s proposed sale price.
7. Reversion to 80% Interest if Final Payment Not Made:
Should Mogotes fail to issue the deferred shares (or pay the $1,500,000 in cash) by the one-year
anniversary of the Initial Closing Date—but has met all other obligations—Mogotes will retain an 80%
interest in the Properties, and the original earn-in agreement terms will continue (with no NSR granted).
8. Closing & Approvals:
The transaction is subject to final approval by the TSXV. Both parties will use commercially reasonable
efforts to satisfy all regulatory requirements and close the transaction promptly.

No assurance can be given that this information will prove to be correct and such forward looking information
included in this news release should not be relied upon. In particular, this press release contains forward- looking
information pertaining to assumptions made in the interpretation of drill results, geology, grade, geochemistry,
potential implications of geophysics interpretations, and continuity of mineral deposits; expectations regarding
access and demand for equipment, skilled labour and services needed for exploration and development of mineral
properties; and that activities will not be adversely disrupted or impeded by exploration, development, operating,
regulatory, political, community, economic, environmental and/or healthy and safety risks. In addition, this news
release may contain forward-looking statements or information pertaining to: potential exploration upside at the Filo
Sur Project, including the extent and significance of the porphyry copper-gold system and the prospectivity of
exploration targets; exploration plans and expenditures,; the ability of the Company to conduct its field programs as
planned; the success of future exploration activities; potential for resource expansion; ability to build shareholder

expected timeline or at all. Any drilling is dependent on pending results from this year’s program and the Company
securing additional funding. This program could be delayed or not be carried out at all.

information are based on assumptions that are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking

maintain, renew and/or extend required permits, licences, authorizations and/or approvals from the appropriate
regulatory authorities; that contractual counterparties perform as agreed; and the ability of the Company to continue
to obtain qualified staff and equipment in a timely and cost- efficient manner to meet its needs. These factors are
not, and should not be construed as being, exhaustive. Although the company has attempted to identify important
factors that would cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information,
