Palamina Corp.
(TSXV: PA) (OTCQB:
PLMNF) has received additional assay results from two additional 2022 geochemical and hand
trenching programs and has consolidated and increased its land package at its Galena Silver Copper
Project in SE Peru. Galena sits at the juncture
of the Santa Lucia mining district to the northeast and
within what is referred to locally as the Las Bambas copper trend to the northwest. In April of 2022,
Palamina staked an additional 4,800 hectares based on recommendations from a desktop study of
the
Santa Lucia district produced by Earthlabs Inc. (formerly GoldSpot Discoveries Corp.) and in July
2022 concluded the acquisition of 100% of two internal titled claims, Gaspar and Chaparro, covering
known mineralization that was historically explored by li
mited tunneling. Palamina now holds 100%
interest to 12,830 hectares at the Galena Silver Copper Project. No drilling has ever been carried out
within the area of the Galena concessions.
Palamina believes the historic Santa Rosa mine area in the Rosa Zone
and the Gris Zone have the
potential to host a Ag
-
Cu Carbonate Replacement Deposit ('CRD') similar to others within the Santa
Lucia mining district. A total of 361 samples were collected in the second and third quarter of 2022 in
the Rosa and Gris Zones to
better define and understand a possible northeast structural trend
through mapping and geochemical sampling. Maps follow that include rock, chip and soil sampling
locations. Five select samples from each zone from the most recent sampling campaigns follow

"Over the summer Palamina carried out additional staking and acquired two internal titled claims in
order to consolidate the Galena land position in the Santa Lucia district. Resu
lts from these and
additional mapping sampling programs will be followed up with further IP surveys in order to identify
drill targets within the Rosa and Gris Zones NE trend. As the need for battery metals increases, high
grade silver copper projects with
low capital expenditures to reach production will gain in value.
Palamina is advancing the Galena silver copper prospect to meet that demand." commented Andrew
Thomson, President of Palamina.
In the Rosa Zone, mapping, rock sampling and soil geochemical s
ampling was carried out at the
Santa Rosa mine, in the Rosita area 0.4 km's to the north and the Mina Rosita Huayrapata area 3 km
further to the northwest. In the Gris Zone, Palamina carried out sampling of an argentiferous breccia
in the newly acquired hi
storic Chapparo mine area and north west of the historic Gaspar mine.

At Galena, Palamina geologists are pursuing epithermal, structurally
-
controlled min
eralization
expecting that it may lead to the discovery of a polymetallic carbonate
-
replacement deposit ("CRD")
similar to the CRD deposits mined in the Santa Lucia District north of Lake Lagunillas. Galena is
located south of Lake Lagunillas.
Palamina is
conducting further mapping and sampling in the Rosa, Rosita and Huayrapata areas that
make up the Rosa Zone. Further Induced Polarization surveys are planned. Palamina has elected to
suspend its FTA permit application at Galena until such time the mines d
epartment improves its
processing times.
Technical Information
Palamina Corp. quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) protocol is implemented on all its
exploration projects. Prior to delivery of samples to the analytical laboratory Palamina QAQC staff
insert blank samples, field duplicates and certified standards into the sample stream with the
objective to provide a check on precision, accuracy and contamination in the laboratory. To assure
best practice compliance, assay results are only reported once
the results of internal QAQC
procedures have been reviewed and approved. Samples are collected and transported by Palamina
personnel to the Certimin S.A laboratory in Juliaca, Peru where they are processed and then sent for
assay to the Certimin SA lab in
Lima, Peru.
