ABOUT OROCO
The Company holds a net 85.5% interest in those central concessions that comprise 1,173 hectares “the
Core Concessions” of The Santo Tomas Project, located in northwestern Mexico. The Company also holds
an 80% interest in an additional 7,861 hectares of mineral concessions surrounding and adjacent to the Core
Concessions (for a total Project area of 9,034 hectares, or 22,324 acres). The Project is situated within the
Santo Tomas District, which extends up to the Jinchuan Group’s Bahuerachi Project, approximately 14 km
to the northeast. The Project hosts signifi cant copper porphyry mineralization initially defined by prior
exploration spanning the period from 1968 to 1994. During that time, the Project area was tested by over
100 diamond and reverse circulation drill holes, totaling approximately 30,000 meters. C ommencing in
2021, Oroco conducted a drill program (Phase 1) at Santo Tomas, with a resulting total of 48,481 meters
drilled in 76 diamond drill holes.
The drilling and subsequent resource estimates and engineering studies led to a revised MRE and an updated
PEA being published and filed in August of 2024, which studies are available at the Company’s website
www.orocoresourcecorp.com and by reviewing the Company profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
The Santo Tomas Project is located within 170 km of the Pacific deep -water port at Topolobampo and is
serviced via highway and proximal rail (and parallel corridors of trunk grid power lines and natural gas)
through the city of Los Mochis to the northern city of Choix. The property is reached, in part, by a 32 km
access road originally built to service Goldcorp’s El Sauzal Mine in Chihuahua State.
