CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING RESULTS OF PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT
The results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 titled "Carangas Deposit
– Preliminary Economic Assessment" with an anticipated effective date of October 1, 2024 and prepared by certain
qualified persons associated with RPMGlobal are preliminary in nature and are intended to provide an initial
assessment of the Project’s economic potential and development options. The Carangas PEA mine schedule and
economic assessment includes numerous assumptions and is based on both indicated and Inferred Mineral
Resources. Inferred resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considera tions
applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that the
preliminary economic assessments described herein will be achieved or that the Carangas PEA results will be realized.
The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by geology, environmental, permitting, legal, title,
socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues. Mineral resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have
demonstrated economic viability. Additional explo ration will be required to potentially upgrade the classification of
the Inferred Mineral Resources to be considered in future advanced studies. RPMGlobal (mineral resource,
infrastructure, tailings, water management, environmental and financial analysis) was contracted to conduct the
Carangas PEA in cooperation with Moose Mountain Technical Services (mining), and JJ Metallurgical Services
(Metallurgy). The qualified persons for the Carangas PEA for the purposes of NI 43-101 are Mr. Marcelo del Giudice,
FAusIMM, Principal Metallurgist with RPMGlobal, Mr. Pedro Repetto, SME, P.E., Principal Civil/Geotechnical
Engineer with RPMGlobal, Mr. Gonzalo Rios, FAusIMM, Executive Consultant – ESG with RPMGlobal, Mr. Jinxing Ji,
P.Eng., Metallurgist with JJ Metallurgical Services, and Mr. Marc Schulte, P.Eng., Mi ning Engineer with Moose
Mountain Technical Services., in addition to Mr. Anderson Candido, FAusIMM, Principal Geologist with RPMGlobal
who estimated the Mineral Resources. All qualified persons for the Carangas PEA have reviewed the disclosure of the
Carangas PEA herein. The Carangas PEA is based on the Carangas MRE, which was reported on September 5, 2023.
The effective date of the Carangas MRE is August 25, 2023. Mineral Resources are constrained by an optimized pit
shell at a metal price of US$23.00/oz Ag, US$1,900.00/oz Au, US$0.95/lb Pb, US$1.25/lb Zn, recovery of 90% Ag, 98%
Au, 83% Pb, 58% Zn and Cut -off grade of 40 g/t AgEq. Assumptions mad e to derive a cut -off grade included mining
costs, processing costs, and recoveries were obtained from comparable industry situations.
