SAN LORENZO OUTLINES NEW ~2 KM GOLD-BEARING CORRIDOR AND
EXPANDS SAN JUAN TARGET FOOTPRINT
Quebrada Salada emerges as a new epithermal-style target adjacent to IP chargeability
responses; new D10 and D11 IP lines extend the San Juan target area; Cerro Blanco’s drill
program is underway.
Calgary, Alberta – September 17, 2026 – San Lorenzo Gold Corp. (“San Lorenzo” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
SLG; OTC: SNLGF) is pleased to provide an exploration update from its 11,962-hectare Salvadora Project
in Chile’s Atacama Region.
Recent work across Salvadora continues to advance existing discoveries while expanding the exploration
pipeline. Highlights include:
Quebrada Salada: mapping and surface sampling outline an approximately 2 km gold-bearing
structural corridor east of IP chargeability responses;
San Juan IP footprint expanded: new D10 and D11 IP lines expand the geophysical picture beyond
the current discovery drilling, while planning advances for systematic step-out drilling from D8
toward the broad D9 response;
Geophysical compilation underway: San Lorenzo is progressing an integrated 3D compilation of
approximately a decade of geophysical work across Salvadora to support drill planning and new
target generation; and
Cerro Blanco: the permitted drill program is underway.
Quebrada Salada – New Gold-Bearing Structural Corridor
San Lorenzo completed reconnaissance prospecting, geological mapping and surface sampling at
Quebrada Salada to evaluate a previously underexplored trend marked by historic workings and
prospective structures. The work outlined an approximately two-kilometre-long, north- to northwest-
trending structural corridor containing multiple subparallel felsic dykes and iron oxide-quartz vein zones
(Figure 1). Reconnaissance sampling returned gold values up to 12.80 g/t Au , with anomalous gold
identified at multiple locations along the mapped trend. The target is particularly compelling because the
gold-bearing structures occur along the eastern margin of existing IP coverage, where several
chargeability responses are present nearby, while portions of the mapped trend remain outside the
current geophysical footprint. The relationship between the surface mineralization and these subsurface
responses has not yet been tested.
This setting is consistent with the exploration approach that led San Lorenzo from surface workings and
geochemistry along the Arco de Oro trend to IP-defined subsurface targets and ultimately the discovery
at San Juan. The next step at Quebrada Salada is to extend the geological and geophysical coverage and
determine whether the surface epithermal system forms part of a larger hydrothermal system at depth.

outside current IP coverage and represents an area for potential follow-up geophysical surveying.
San Juan – Emerging IP Footprint
San Lorenzo has now incorporated recently completed IP lines D10 and D11 into its interpretation of the
San Juan discovery area, building on the D8 and D9 surveys completed previously. San Juan was discovered
by drilling a blind chargeability anomaly on IP line D8, where subsequent drilling intersected broad gold
mineralization, including 102.3 metres grading 1.33 g/t Au and 52.6 metres grading 1.67 g/t Au in SAL-
10-25, as well as 58.5 metres grading 1.07 g/t Au and a separate 60.3 metres grading 1.01 g/t Au in SAL-
09-25. See the Company’s news releases dated May 8, 2026 and June 4, 2026 for additional information
regarding these previously reported drill results.
The expanded dataset now shows sizeable chargeability responses across D8 through D11. IP line D9,
approximately 500 metres from D8, contains a broad and prominent chargeability response, while D10
and D11 identify additional responses across the wider survey area. The relationship and potential
continuity between these responses remain under evaluation, but the current interpretation indicates
that the geophysical footprint at San Juan extends substantially beyond the area tested by drilling to date.
The immediate exploration priority is to systematically step out from the D8 discovery toward D9 and test
the substantial undrilled ground between the two lines. Planning for the next phase of drilling is underway
and remains a high priority for the Company, with the D8–D11 dataset also being incorporated into
ongoing 3D geophysical work to refine the geometry of the principal responses and guide drill targeting.

Integrated 3D Geophysical Compilation
San Lorenzo is progressing an integrated 3D compilation of approximately a decade of geophysical work
across Salvadora, spanning roughly 18 km of the property. The program brings historic and recently
completed IP datasets into a common framework to improve the Company’s understanding of the
property-scale geophysical architecture, support drill planning, and assist with the generation and
prioritization of new targets.
Cerro Blanco Update
The Cerro Blanco drill program is underway as part of the Company’s permitted 20-pad program. The
program is designed to follow up previously reported broad zones of gold mineralization and further test
the scale and continuity of the Cerro Blanco system within its broader alteration and geophysical footprint.
Previous drilling at Cerro Blanco returned multiple broad gold intercepts, including 153.5 metres grading
1.04 g/t Au in SAL-01-24. See the Company’s news release dated March 3, 2025 for additional information
regarding this previously reported drill result.
Management Commentary
Brandon Gaspar, CEO of San Lorenzo, commented: “What excites us most about Salvadora is how much
opportunity still sits in front of us. San Juan has already demonstrated the value of using IP to identify blind
mineralized systems, and Quebrada Salada is now emerging as another compelling target with
approximately two kilometres of gold-bearing structures, historic workings and nearby chargeability
responses that remain untested. As we continue to advance our known discoveries, we are building a
pipeline of new exploration targets across Salvadora that we believe will help demonstrate the broader
potential of the district. With large areas of the property still lightly explored, we believe there is
substantial room for further discovery — and in many respects, we’re just getting started.”
Terence Walker, Vice President Exploration, commented: “We are very encouraged by what we are
seeing at Quebrada Salada. The combination of gold-bearing structures, felsic dykes and nearby
chargeability responses fits well with the exploration model we have been developing across Salvadora.
San Juan demonstrated the value of using IP to identify blind targets, and the D9, D10 and D11 surveys are
now giving us a much broader picture of the geophysical system surrounding that discovery. Quebrada
Salada is at an earlier stage, but it has many of the geological features we look for and warrants systematic
follow-up.”
Sampling and Analytical Procedures
A total of 27 rock and regolith samples were collected at Quebrada Salada during reconnaissance
prospecting and geological mapping in June 2026. Samples were submitted to Andes Analytical Assay SpA
(“AAA”) in Copiapó, Chile, an independent laboratory, for preparation and analysis. Gold was analyzed by
fire assay with atomic absorption finish using method FA-AA-1E42, which uses a nominal 40-gram sample
charge, with the actual charge adjusted by the laboratory where warranted by sample characteristics.
Silver, copper and 31 additional elements were analyzed by ICP following aqua-regia digestion. AAA
applied its standard internal quality-control procedures. The samples are selective in nature and are not
necessarily representative of the overall grade or continuity of mineralization at Quebrada Salada.
