NEWS RELEASE
Astra Provides Corporate Update, Mobilizes Ground Crews at La Manchuria
Project, Argentina
Vancouver, British Columbia – September 11, 2025 – Astra Exploration Inc. (TSX -V: ASTR,
OTCQB: ATEPF, FSE: S3I) (“Astra” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a corporate update,
including exploration activities at the La Manchuria Gold and Silver Project in Santa Cruz,
Argentina.
Astra has mobilized ground crews to commence detailed mapping, regional ground magnetics,
topographical surveys, and sampling ahead of the Phase II drill program scheduled to begin in
the coming weeks.
Astra’s CEO, Brian Miller commented:
“Geologists are currently mapping key geological features in preparation for the Phase II drill
program. The presence of low temperature vein fragments at surface validates Astra’s model that
the veins are plunging to the southeast, further indicating the presence of a preserved epithermal
system concealed by post-mineral volcanics.
Detailed mapping also aims to confirm that the andesites are not a continuous basement rock,
but rather a series of layers between stratigraphic rock units, the known thickness of which ranges
from 10 to 50 metres. Phase I drilling revealed that favorable host rock units exist beneath the
andesites and adds additional potential for La Manchuria to host a large, robust high-grade gold-
silver epithermal system.
The Phase II drill campaign is expected to commence in approximately three to four weeks. Winter
weather conditions are subsiding, and we are eager to re-commence drilling operations as soon
as possible.”

About the Company
Astra Exploration Inc. is a precious metals exploration company based out of Vancouver, BC that
is actively building a portfolio of high -quality projects in some of the most important mining
jurisdictions in Latin America.
The La Manchuria gold -silver project in Santa Cruz, Argentina , over which Astra has an
option to acquire 90% interest, is a high-grade gold and silver low sulphidation epithermal (LSE)
deposit located in the prolific Deseado Massif which hosts multiple world -class LSE precious
metals deposits including Cerro Vanguardia and Cerro Negro, Santa Cruz, Argentina.
The 100% owned Pampa Paciencia gold and silver project in northern Chile is located in the
Paleocene mineral province in proximity to such major operating mines as Spence and Sierra
Gorda. The project shares several important geological similarities to other Paleocene LSE gold-
silver deposits including Faride and El Peñón.
The 100% owned Cerro Bayo project in northern Chile is located in the Maricunga belt
approximately 20 km from the Refugio Mine. The project hosts a high sulphidation epithermal
(HSE) +/- porphyry gold system with similarities to the Salares Norte deposit to the north in the
same belt. The Maricunga belt is one of the most en dowed regions in the world for gold and
copper deposits.
