Early Warning

As disclosed in the Company's news releases dated

March 13

and

May 2, 2025

, IFIS Ltd., an entity

controlled by Mr. Elsztain, initially completed a strategic investment in the Company subscribing for

25,000,000 Common Shares and 5,200,000 purchase warrants exercisable at

C$0.26

for a period

of 5 years from the date of issue, for total gross proceeds of

$5,000,000

(the "

Initial Strategic

Investment

").

Following the Initial Strategic Investment, Mr. Elsztain, through such affiliate, owned and/or

controlled indirectly, approximately 12.69% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares and

14.94% on a partially diluted, and while immediately following the closing of the Offering and Pro

Rata Investment, Mr. Elsztain, through IFIS Ltd. and Tyrus S.A., owned and/or controlled directly or

indirectly 31,250,000 Common Shares, and 8,325,000 warrants to purchase Common Shares,

representing 12.57% of the outstanding Common Shares and 15.40% on a partially diluted basis.

The Company is advised that such affiliates, controlled directly or indirectly by Mr. Elsztain (i)

acquired the above mentioned securities for investment purposes, (ii) intend on reviewing

investments in the Company's securities on a continuing basis and such holdings may be increased

or decreased in the future, the whole in the context of the Investor Rights Agreement, and (iii) may in

the future acquire or dispose of Common Shares through the open market, privately or otherwise, as

circumstances or market conditions dictate.

A copy of the Early Warning Report filed by Mr. Elsztain may be obtained from the Company's

SEDAR profile.

The purchase of the 6,250,000 Elsztain Units constitutes a "related party transaction" for the

purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special

Transactions ("

MI 61-101

"). The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal

valuation or minority shareholder approval in reliance on sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101,

as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to the Insiders nor the fair market value of

the consideration for the securities issued to the Insiders exceeds 25% of the Company's market

capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material

change report containing all of the disclosure required by MI 61-101 more than 21 days before the

expected closing date of the offerings as the aforementioned insider participation had not been

confirmed at that time and the Company wished to close the offerings as expeditiously as possible.

About the El Quevar Project

The El Quevar Project is located in Salta,

Argentina

and spans an area of 57,000 hectares. The

property remains underexplored with less than 3% of the area covered with comprehensive

exploration work. The property boasts exceptional infrastructure with over 60 km of internal roads, a

fully owned, fully operational camp for 100 workers with multiple support buildings, and a railroad,

gas pipeline and service road just 3 km from camp, while a high–voltage transmission line lies

approximately 20 km from the exploration area. The robust infrastructure associated with the project

provides a cost-effective platform to de–risk and accelerate future drilling and development.

The foundational Mineral Resource Estimate of the Yaxtché deposit boasts an indicated mineral

resource of

45.3 million ounces of silver from 2.93 million tonnes grading 482 g/t Ag, and an

inferred resource of 4.1 million ounces from 0.31 million tonnes grading 417 g/t Ag

(1). The

mineral resource area remains open at depth and in multiple directions, particularly to the southeast

and northwest. One of the objectives of the ongoing 2025 Winter Drilling Program is to specifically

target and expand these high-grade Yaxtché zones.

The mineralization at the Yaxtché deposit is defined as a silver rich, high to intermediate-sulphidation

epithermal system with associated gold. Mineralization is controlled by NW-SE and NE-SW fault

structures and is mainly hosted in brecciated zones and dacite domes. Silver minerals at Yaxtché

consist of complex silver sulphides, sulphosalts and native silver. These minerals are found within

silicified breccias, commonly appearing as veinlets, stockworks, disseminations, and breccia fillings.
