Peruvian Metals Production Update for the
First Half of 2026 at Aguila Norte Processing
Plant
Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 9, 2026) -
Peruvian Metals Corp. (TSXV: PER) (OTC Pink:
DUVNF)
("Peruvian Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update regarding the mineral
processing at its 80-per-cent-owned fully permitted Aguila Norte processing plant ("Aguila Norte" or the
"Plant") located in Northern Peru.
During the first six months of 2026 the Plant was at full capacity and processed 18,269 tonnes of third-
party mineral, compared with 18,500 tonnes in 2025 and 14,869 tonnes in 2024. The 2026 year-to-date
production show a slight decrease compared to the same period for 2025. The decrease in production
was due to planned maintenance and the overhaul of the ball mill on site. The Company anticipates the
Plant will be at full capacity for the remainder of 2026 and expects to report a record year of production.
Jeffrey Reeder, Chief Executive Officer of Peruvian Metals, commented: "We are pleased that we are on
track for another record processing year in 2026 at Aguila Norte. The Company completed the
maintenance program on time and budget. The Plant has processed almost 210,000 tonnes since 2018
and we are very pleased with the durability of the Plant's equipment. The Company continues to be in a
unique position compared to many in the junior mining space as we continue to strengthen the
Company's financial position and advance our mineral assets with minimal share dilution. The Company
is currently developing its wholly owned Palta Dorada Au-Ag Property and its 50%-owned Mercedes
Property, and is reviewing additional gold properties held by the Company. Updates on these properties
will be provided to shareholders in due course "
The Aguila Norte processing plant has an environmental permit ("IGAC") from the Peruvian government
which provides the Plant with the ability to expand operations past the current 100 tonnes per day level.
