MINEROS ANNOUNCES EXECUTION OF BINDING AGREEMENT TO SELL GUALCAMAYO

PROPERTY

Medellin, Colombia – September 8, 2023 – Mineros S.A. (TSX:MSA, MINEROS:CB) (“Mineros” or the

“Company”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiaries Mineros Chile Rentista de Capitales Mobiliarios

Limitada and Mineros Argentina Holding B.V. (the “Sellers”) have signed a share purchase and sale

agreement (the “Agreement”) with Eris LLC (the “Purchaser”) dated September 7, 2023, to sell all of the

outstanding shares in the capital stock of Mineros’ subsidiary, Minas Argentinas S.A. (“MASA”) to the

Purchaser (the “Transaction”). MASA holds a 100% interest in the Gualcamayo Property, which hosts the

Gualcamayo Mine and the Deep Carbonates Project.

The Transaction is being completed on an “as is, where is” basis. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchaser

will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of MASA in exchange for: (i) US$4 million which was

advanced by the Purchaser to fund on-going operations of MASA and to secure exclusivity during the

negotiations of the Agreement, (ii) the assumption by the Purchaser of any and all obligations of MASA

existing as at the closing date of the Transaction, and (iii) the agreement by the Purchaser to make the

US$30 million contingent payment that would become payable to Pan American Silver Corp. should the

Deep Carbonates Project ever be put into production, which would otherwise be payable by Mineros.

In addition, the Purchaser has agreed to provide a credit facility to MASA in an amount of up to US$10

million, of which US$2 million was advanced to MASA prior to execution of the Agreement, and the

remaining US$8 million will be advanced by the Purchaser on closing of the Transaction to ensure that

MASA is properly capitalized. On closing of the Transaction, the Sellers will pay US$6.5 million to the

Purchaser to cover certain outstanding obligations of MASA existing as at the date of execution of the

Agreement.

The Sellers and its affiliates are holders of certain intercompany loans with MASA, which will be capitalized

and settled prior to closing of the Transaction.

Closing of the Transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent

including, without limitation, the negotiation and execution of a transitional services agreement.

Andres Restrepo, CEO & President of Mineros S.A., said, “The sale of the Gualcamayo Property is in line

with our strategy of actively managing our portfolio and focusing management’s efforts on high margin,

long-life and lower cost assets. We are pleased to sell the Gualcamayo Property to Eris LLC as we have

full confidence that they will leverage their experience and knowledge gained from their local investments

to maximise and enhance the future of the Deep Carbonates Project. We wish to thank our local employees

for their commitment, professionalism and contribution to Mineros’ success over the past several years.”

Closing of the Transaction is expected to occur on or about September 21, 2023.

Gualcamayo Property Overview

The Gualcamayo Project is located in west-central Argentina, in the northern part of the Province of San

Juan and extending into the Province of La Rioja, which hosts the Gualcamayo Mine, and the undeveloped

project known as the Deep Carbonates Project.

Change in Guidance

Mineros’ guidance for production at the Gualcamayo Property for 2023 was between 55,000 and 63,000 oz

of gold. At the closing of the Transaction, Mineros expects that it will have produced between 31,000 and

33,000 oz of gold at the Gualcamayo Property during 2023. As a result, Mineros is reviewing its overall

production and cost guidance for 2023, and aims to provide updated guidance concurrent with the

announcement of the closing of the Transaction.
