Palamina Corp.
(

)
F
ield work
completed
in the newly acquired Sol de Oro
Zone at
the
Usicayos Gold Project has returned
values up to 0.9m of 200 g/t gold
with multiple visible gold
occurrences prospected
. The most recent mapping and rock sampling focused on the Sol de Oro (“SDO”)
area
.
In
2021/2022 s
ix
inaugural
drill holes were completed in the Veta Zone to
test the north eastern portion
of
the
4.5 km
long gold trend
defined to date
. SDO gold mineralization occurs over 2.2km on
the
south
western
end
of the trend.
Four
mineralized gold
stru
ctures
have been located
within the SDO Zone
.
“Since acquiring the Sol de Oro (“SDO”) claims in June,
2022,
Palamina has
focused exploration on
three
areas of interest, secured
all
the surface rights
to the SDO area
and submitted a modification of its DIA to
drill in the
SDO
and Cayos Zones.

Table includes assays
that were previously released
,
VG
= Visible Gold observed in sample
.
The most recent campaign of mapping and rock sampling (247 new chip
-
channel samples) focused on the
Sol de Oro (“SDO”) area, approximately
1.7
to 3 km’s
southwest of the zone of earlier drilling
in the
Veta
Zone. Reconnaissance mapping and sampling followed a series of mineralized deformation zones
approximately 2.2 km to the east and northeast. Host rocks are variably metamorphosed Middle Paleozoic
Ananea siltstones and shales intruded by thin sills of fine
-
grained diorite. Airborne magnetic surveys
suggest the area is underlain at depth by a younger, larger intrusive body with a similar orientation.
Within the corridors of focused deformation mineralization occurs within thin, white to grey quartz veins
co
ntaining pyrite, arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite. These veins can be either thin grey veins that are folded or
boudinage and weakly folded or straight extensional veins of white quartz with pyrite. Visible gold was
observed in both types and within boxworks in
areas of weathering. Vein and veinlet frequencies range
from 2 to 10m ; best mineralization occurs in grey quartz within “mantos”, parallel to bedding/schistosity,
while cross
-
cutting veins are barren.
E
xploration has been focused on
three
target areas
i
n the newly acquired SDO Zone:
1) SDO North: 100m X 8m wide south
-
dipping, east striking manto adjacent to a sub
-
parallel fault.
2) SDO South West
: 190m X 30m wide moderately north
-
dipping, east
-
trending manto.
3) SDO South
: 150m
-
high
exposed rock face
X 80m
wide corridor of deformation
Crews completed a series of rock
-
chip and channel samples at each target. A sample traverse was laid
-
out
along s
trike then samples were taken over one metre perpendicular (as conditions permitted) to strike,
spaced approximately every two metres. At SD
O North
four traverses were completed along a length of
130m
:
SDO
South West
three traverses along a length of 150m
and at SDO
South
three traverses along
250m. It is expected that this rigorous sampling approach will test these structures for grade variability,
possibly highlighting higher grade domain
s
prior to drilling. All targets are open
.
An updated map showing the Veta, Cayos and Sol de Oro Gold Zone
s in
4.5 km
NE trend
follows
:
Palamina plans to carry out a lidar topographic survey o
ver
the 4.5 km trend
to provide better geol
o
gical
controls. I
n
addition t
renching across SDO N
orth
,
South West
and
S
outh
areas
is being completed
to better
define gold mineralization with a view to carrying out a drill program. Funding of a new road running from
the west to the SDO
and Cayos zones
is
being
investigate
d.
The
drill remains at site
in the Veta Zone
with
a view to next drilling the best targets in the SDO and Cayos Zones.
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.

d and approved
