NEWS RELEASE
Vicuña: 3D Geophysical Model Outlines Large Scale Anomalies at the Los Mogotes
Target Cluster Adjacent to Filo Del Sol
August 5, 2025 - Mogotes Metals Inc. (TSXV: MOG, FSE:OY4, OTCQB: MOGMF) (“Mogotes”, or the “ Company”) is
pleased to announce that integrated processing of Mogotes 2025 and 2023 IP/MT geophysical data has delivered a
compelling 3D geophysical model that outlines a series of compelling large-scale anomalies within the Company’s Filo
Sur project. The geophysical anomalies are located directly on trend to the south of the large BHP/Lundin Filo Del Sol
(FDS) resource1 and represent high priority Mogotes drill targets for porphyry copper (PCD) and High Sulfidation
Epithermal (HSE) gold – silver mineralization (Figure 1 & 2).
Readers are cautioned that information regarding the geology, mineralization, mineral resources, and production
history on adjacent or similar properties is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on Company’s properties.
Geophysical surveys are not definitive and do not carry any guarantee of a mineral discovery. The Company also notes
that rock chip grab samples are selected samples and may not be representative of the underlying mineralization.
CEO Allen Sabet commented:
“The 3D modelling of our geophysical data has outlined a cluster of new exciting anomalies that together with our
surface geochemistry define a series of very attractive targets. The Los Mogotes target has caught our attention
located only 2. 5 km south of Filo Del Sol and with an approximate footprint of 1600 x 800m, it has both a great
address and scale. Our technical team is driving towards an exploration campaign planned to be kicked off in October
that will advance these exciting new targets.”
Los Mogotes Geophysical Anomaly – Porphyry Cu Target
1. Los Mogotes geophysical anomaly is located directly on trend 2.5 km South of the limit of the BHP/Lundin
FDS resource that remains open1 and under drilled toward the Mogotes Claims.
2. Now approximately 1600m by 800m as outlined by <100 Ohm.m resistivity anomaly in Mogotes 3D MT/IP
geophysical model defines a compelling drill target for porphyry mineralisation (Figure 3a). By analogy,
similar magnitude and scale geophysical anomalies have been used to guide exploration drilling at other
known large-scale porphyry copper-gold deposits along the Miocene belt2 (Figure 3b).
3. Relatively near surface at 200 to 500m depth to top of target.
4. MT/IP resistivity anomaly centred within larger IP chargeability halo of 30 to 90 ms, consistent with a
potential pyrite halo to concealed porphyry mineralisation.
5. The previously reported outcrop rock chip copper and alteration anomaly overlies the MT/IP geophysical
anomaly (Please see May 7, 2025 news release). However, the size of the geophysical anomaly at depth is
now significantly larger than the expression of rock chip geochemistry and alteration as seem in outcrop.
Meseta Geophysical Anomaly – High Sulphidation Epithermal Au-Ag (Cu) Target
1. Meseta geophysical anomaly is located on the BHP/Lundin – Mogotes property boundary directly on trend 1.0
km south of the FDS resource (Figures 1 & 2).
2. Large target footprint (1000m x 400m) as defined by the projected to surface trace of a 2,000 to >10,000
Ohm.m MT/IP resistivity anomaly . Resistivity anomalies of th is magnitude can be associated with concealed
zones of vuggy silica and quartz-alunite alteration that may host HSE Au-Ag-Cu mineralization.
3. The top of the resistor lies up to 100m below surface but locally projects to surface where Mogotes has mapped
quartz-alunite altered breccias with vuggy silica and locally porphyry veined clasts supporting the concept that
the covered resistivity may also be related to quartz-alunite alteration representing an attractive conceptual HSE
previous metal target.
4. Morphology suggests potential for a concealed breccia pipe or zone of stratabound vuggy silica : In cross
section the resistor has a funnel shape and is up to 350m thick. The funnel shape target is centered under the
Meseta West area.
5. The projected to surface trace of the Meseta geophysical anomaly in plan has a sigmodal shape suggesting a
structural jog setting. This is a permissive setting known to host HSE breccias elsewhere in the Miocene age
mineral belt3,4
6. The previously reported quartz-alunite alteration and rock chip Au-Ag assays with strong Sb, As, Ba, Te
epithermal path finder elements , overlie the MT/IP anomaly at Meseta . Mogotes rock chip sampling has
returned assays up to 1.48 g/t Au, 18.8 g/t Ag from these breccia (Please see May 7, 2025 news release ) that
may represent geochemical “leakage” from mineralization at depth.
The presence of precious metal bearing, quartz-alunite altered breccias riming the Meseta plateau, with an underlying
resistive, funnel shaped MT/ IP anomaly, is reminiscent of the pre-discovery setting of HSE breccia deposits such as
the Goldfields Salares Norte3 and Barrak Gold Alturas4 breccia hosted, HSE Au-Ag deposits, located along the El Indio
and Marracunga segments of the Miocene age mineral belt that also hosts the Filo Del Sol deposit.
Cuenca Geophysical Anomaly – Epithermal Au-Ag Target
1. Mogotes geophysical model shows the Cuenca Au-Ag veining is located on the flank of a 1200m diameter,
concealed, mushroom shaped body defined by a very strong resistivity anomaly. Mogotes geological mapping
has identified small outcrops of phyllic to advanced argillic altered hypabyssal quartz diorite porphyry overlying
the resistivity anomaly, suggesting that the anomaly is outlining a large concealed altered intrusive dome that is
hosting the structurally controlled Cuenca vein zone.
2. Cuenca vein zone is characterized by narrow zones of sheeted quartz veinlets that are developed as intersecting
structural trends over a 500m to 750m strike up to 270m wide area. The alteration assemblage of dickite-
alunite(K>Na)-gypsum-jarosite suggest an advanced argillic (AA) epithermal character to the mineralization.
3. Rock chip assays have returned up to 0.84 g/t Au and 16.2 g/t Ag with strongly anomalous Sb As Zn Pb Te Ba
(Please see May 7, 2025 news release) consistent with a precious metal polymetallic epithermal signature. Further
assay results from sampling of the zone will be reported in the coming weeks.
The geological setting of the Cuenca target in the roof zone of a large intrusive dome (Figure 5), as inferred from the
geophysics, represents a permissive setting for epithermal gold-silver mineralization. Understanding of the mineral
potential for the Cuenca zone is at a n early stage, however the system footprint and near surface character will
facilitate rapid evaluation and if warranted drill testing for near surface structurally controlled Au-Ag mineralization.
Los Mogotes Target Cluster
This seasons exploration has outlined a group of compelling new drill targets at Los Mogotes, Meseta and Cuenca,
the “Mogotes Target Cluster”, that are supported by anomalous rock chip, TerraSpec alteration, geology and now
attractive relatively near surface geophysics anomalies. The spatial relationship and combined geological
characteristics of these targets suggest that they maybe part of a linked porphyry epithermal system, as outlined in
classic porphyry – epithermal models (Figure 6), presenting the potential for both porphyry copper and epithermal
precious metal (Au-Ag) mineralization in close proximity. The potential for telescoping of epithermal and porphyry
mineralization at Los Mogotes , a significant factor in the development of the adjacent Filo del Sol system 6, will be
evaluated by Mogotes as exploration proceeds on these targets.

practice. Geochemical assa ys are obtained and reported under a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)
program. Samples from Argentina are dispatched bagged in raffia bags and packaged for shipment by an exclusive
truck to the ALS laboratory in Mendoza, Argentina. Samples from Chile are dispatched bagged in raffia bags and
delivered to the ALS laboratory in Copiapo , Chile. These facilities carried out sample preparation (PREP -31B) which
includes crush to 70 % less than 2 mm, riffle split off 1kg, pulverize to 85% passing 75 microns. The prepared samples
are sent to the ALS laboratory in Lima, Peru for gold a nd multi-element analysis. Gold (Au-ICP21) was analyzed by
fire assay fusion with ICP-AES finish on a 30 g sample. Samples were also analyzed for a suit of 48 elements (ME -
MS61) with four acid digestion and ICP-MS finish.
Assay results from drill core samples may be higher, lower or similar to results obtained from surface rock, channel,
trench samples due to surficial oxidation and enrichment processes or due to natural geological grade variations in
the primary mineralization.
