Orosur Completes Phase one of El Pantano JV, Argentina
• The Company successfully completes Phase one of its exploration
JV over the El Pantano gold exploration project in Santa Cruz
province, Argentina.
• Company now owns 51% of the Project after having invested
US$1m.
• Company can now move to 100% ownership of the Project by

London, February 17 th, 2025 . Orosur Mining Inc. ("Orosur" or the
"Company") (TSXV/AIM:OMI), is pleased to announce successful
completion of the first phase of a two phase exploration joint venture ("JV")
over the El Pantano gold project in Santa Cruz province, Argentina ("Project"
or "El Pantano"). This milestone marks a significant step forwar d in the
Company's strategic development of the Project.
Having invested US$1m over three years, the Company has now earned a
direct 51% interest in the Argentine company, Deseado Dorado S.A.S
("Deseado"), that owns the exploration licences that make up the Project.
The Company can now move to the second phase of the JV, that could see
it move to 100% ownership of Deseado upon investment of an additional
US$2m over two years. Upon such an outcome, the original vendors would
then retain a residual 2% NSR royalty, 1% o f which the Company could
repurchase at its election for US$1m.
El Pantano is an early -stage gold/silver exploration project in Santa
Cruz province, southern Argentina. The Project comprises a number of
contiguous, granted exploration licences totalling some 560km2 in the prolific
Deseado Massif geological province. The Deseado Massif plays host to a
number of world class gold and silver deposits, including Newmont's Cerro
Negro mine and Anglo Gold's Cerro Vanguardia operation.
The Project was in an early -stage, greenfield state, having seen little or no
historical exploration before commencement of the JV in early 2022.
However, Company geological teams felt the Project held enormous
potential on the basis of regional geological data, suggestive of the presence
of a large epithermal system.
Over the last three years, the Company's geological teams have been
methodically undertaking base level geoscience surveys including ground
magnetics, geological mapping and surface geochemistry. These data
support the rift-related low-sulphidation epithermal model, with identification
of a 25km long rift structure with pervasive silicification, quartz veining and
geochemical anomalism over a huge area.
The Company is to soon commence induced polarisation surveys ("IP")
designed to define silicified drill targets.
Orosur CEO Brad George commented:
"We are delighted to have reached this key stage in the Exploration
Agreement. In particular we see the work to date as tremendous testament
to the value of back to basics, grass roots exploration - taking an unwanted,
untouched region, doing the work, and transforming it into a huge and
extraordinarily exciting prospect in a world class province at a time of record
gold prices. Together with our partners we are starting to prepare for Phase
2 of the Project, and we look forward to accelerated exploration activities"
