About the Valeriano Copper Gold Deposit
The Valeriano copper gold deposit hosts an inferred resource of 297.3 million tonnes grading
0.59% copper, 0.193 grams per tonne gold and 0.90 grams per tonne silver (0.77% copper
equivalent) at a cut-off grade of 0.50% copper. Contained metals total 1.77 million tonnes copper,
1.84 million ounces gold and 8.62 million ounces silver for 2.30 million tonnes copper equivalent.
For further information on the inferred resource estimate, see the Technical Report titled
“VALERIANO PROJECT INFERRED RESOURCE ESTIMATES Atacama Region, Chile” dated
November 13, 2020 and filed at www.sedar.com.
National Instrument 43-101 Compliance
The Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43 -101 of the Canadian Securities
Administrators, for the Valeriano Copper Gold Project is Sergio Diaz, a resident of La Senera,
Chile. Mr. Diaz is a Public Registered Per son for Reserves and Resources No. 51, in Chile and
is also registered in the Colegio de Geólogos de Chile under No. 315.
The resource estimate c opper equivalent grade was calculated based upon a copper price of
$3.00 per pound, gold price of $1,800 per ounce and silver price of $25.00 per ounces (all prices
in US$). Metal recoveries were not considered. The formula used for the copper equivalent
calculation was: Cu Eq% = (Cu ppm/10,000) + (Au g/t * Au $/ oz/ 22.0462 * 31.1035*Cu price) + (Ag g/t * Ag price /
22.0462 * 31.1035*Cu price)
