CARLTON PRECIOUS PROVIDES ESQUILACHE PROJECT UPDATE

Toronto, Ontario, December 1, 2025 – Carlton Precious Inc. (TSX-V: CPI | OTCQB: CPIFF) (“Carlton”

or the “ Company”) is pleased to provide an update to investors on its Esquilache Silver project

(“Esquilache” or the “Project”) located in the Puno region of Southern Peru. Esquilache covers 1,600

hectares that include historical mine workings formally developed by Hochschild Mining PLC

(“Hochschild”). Carlton owns the project 100% and royalty free after buying back the Project's royalties

in 2022. Although Esquilache has no reported current mineral resources, Hochschild reported production

in the 1960's and 1970's of more than 1 million tonnes grading 3.4 opt Ag, 3.8% Zn, 4.2% Pb and 0.3 gpt

Au. Production was mainly from hillside adits that extracted ore from several well defined and continuous

high grade silver lead and zinc veins. The P roject was last drilled and studied in 2015 by a former TSX

listed Canadian junior, Vena Resources Ltd.

Carlton recently submitted to the Peruvian Ministry of Mines and Energy (“MINEM”) an application for a

FTA (“Ficha Tecnica Ambiental”) level drilling permit that if granted would have allowed the Company to

immediately commence drilling operations at Esquilache. However, after its review of the FTA application,

MINEM notified the Company that it requires the Company to upgrade the application to a standard DIA

(“Declaration de Impacto Ambiental” ) drill permit, a primary environmental certification document that

requires a more detailed environmental approach along with further community consultations. This is due

to the Project containing historical workings and surface mine liabilities related to rehabilitation work that

local authorities have committed to finalize but remain outstanding. The Company expect s to submit the

DIA application to MINEM in early 2026.

Carlton has completed data compilation, sampling and drill targeting work across Esquilache and plans to

implement a 5,000 metre core drilling program as soon as the DIA is approved and in place. This initial

drilling program has been designed to advance the Project toward estimation of a reportable mineral

resource and, dependant on results, may warrant the implementation of engineering programs and feasibility

studies in the context of the recent increase in the silver price.
