Oroco Deepens its ESG Commitments to the Santo Tomas Region
VANCOUVER, Canada – July 31, 2025 – Oroco Resource Corp. (TSX-V: OCO; OTC:
ORRCF) (“Oroco” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed a cooperation
agreement with Sembrando Vida (“Sowing Life”), a flagship environmental and social program of
the Government of Mexico.
This joint effort is intended to strengthen environmental conservation and community
development in the municipality of Choix, Sinaloa, where Oroco’s Santo Tomás Project is
located. Oroco and Sembrando Vida will work together to restore degraded land, promote
sustainable agriculture, and contribute to regional ecological regeneration.
Sembrando Vida is a federally funded program that supports smallholder farmers through
agroforestry systems, reforestation, and rural development. With a focus on restoring ecosystems
and reducing rural poverty, the program has helped thousands of communities across Mexico
establish sustainable livelihoods while improving soil and forest health.
“This partnership reflects our long-term commitment to sustainable development and
environmental integrity within our local communities,” said Craig Dalziel, Chairman of Oroco.
“We’re proud to support a program that not only aligns with our ESG values but also strengthens
our ties with the communities that surround Santo Tomás, as well as providing further evidence of
our confidence in the future of the Santo Tomas Project. Together with Sembrando Vida, we can
build an approach to local development that is as regenerative as it is responsible.”
Through this collaboration, Oroco will provide material, logistical, and advisory support for local
initiatives, including native tree planting, land recovery, and training for program participants.
The agreement underscores growing alignment between public-sector environmental priorities and
Oroco’s operational philosophy.
In addition to our existing community engagement efforts, this initiative reflects Oroco’s broader
ESG strategy as the Company undertakes its next phase of technical studies at Santo Tomás.

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 mi neral 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, approxim ately 14 km to the northeast. The Project hosts
significant 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. Commencing 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 Tomás 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.
