Q1 2026 Business Summary
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company continued to focus on preserving cash resources, maintaining a
significantly reduced cost structure, managing its exploration portfolio and evaluating strategic alternatives.
Subsequent to quarter end, on May 14, 2026, the Company completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Minera William, S.A. de C.V. (“Minera William”) to Streamline Metals Capital Ltd. for total consideration of
$1.2 million. The assets of Minera William include net operating losses, a Capital Contribution Account (“CUCA”), the
Par de Tres 2 mining concession and the San Diego royalty. With the completion of this transaction, the Company
has substantially concluded its business in Mexico and is focused on its exploration properties in Argentina and
Nevada.
In connection with the sale of Minera William, the Company entered into a private placement agreement with
Streamline Metals Capital Ltd. pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 3,740,000 shares of common stock
at a purchase price of $0.2290 per shar e for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $856,000. The private
placement remains subject to approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and is expected to close on or around May
20, 2026. The proceeds from the Minera William sale and the private placement are not reflected in the Company’s
March 31, 2026 financial statements.
The Company controls 67% of the Desierto Project, located in the Puna geological region of Salta Province, Argentina.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company continued discussions with Cascadero Copper Corporation regarding
joint venture arrangements . Following completion of the joint venture agreement, the Company anticipates
initiating a Phase I drill program designed to test extensions of gold mineralization from the adjacent Sarita Este

property. The timing of any drilling program remains subject to completion of joint venture documentation and the
availability of sufficient funding.
In January 2025, the Company exercised its option to earn a 60% interest in the Sand Canyon Project, an exploration-
stage gold -silver project located in Humboldt County, Nevada. The parties continue to finalize joint venture
documentation. During the first quarter of 2026, no drilling was planned, and the Company continued to review
historical exploration data to inform future exploration planning.
2026 Liquidity Discussion
At March 31, 2026, the Company had aggregate cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 million, compared to $1.3 million
in cash and cash equivalents (plus restricted cash of $0.5 million). Combined cash, cash equivalents and restricted
cash decreased by $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily reflecting:
• a $0.5 million disbursement of restricted cash to settle value added tax obligations of subsidiaries disposed
of during 2025;
• $0.5 million in general and administrative expenses;
• $0.06 million in exploration expenditures; and
• $14,000 of income from discontinued operations.
The Company continued to operate with a reduced cost structure during the quarter, while preserving capital for
corporate purposes and maintaining its exploration portfolio in Argentina and Nevada.
Capital Resources and 2026 Financial Outlook
The Company does not currently have sufficient resources to meet its expected cash needs for a period of twelve
months beyond the filing date of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. At March
31, 2026, the Company had curr ent assets of approximately $1.0 million, including cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $0.9 million, and accounts payable and other current liabilities of approximately $0.9 million.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company completed the sale of Minera William, S.A. de C.V. for total proceeds
of $1.2 million. In connection with that transaction, the Company also entered into a private placement agreement
to issue 3,740,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.2290 per share for expected gross proceeds of
approximately $856,000. The private placement remains subject to approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and is
expected to close on or around May 20, 2026.
Based on current forecasts and taking into account the completed sale of Minera William and the expected proceeds
from the private placement, the Company expects its cash resources to fund its cash requirement into early 2027.
The Company’s only near-term opportunities to generate cash flow to meet its expected cash requirements are from
the sale of additional assets, equity or other external financing. The Company is evaluating alternatives, including
the potential sale of the Company, seeking buyers or pa rtners for certain of the Company’s remaining assets, or
obtaining equity or other external financing.
