maintenance and rehabilitation including one low profile haulage truck and four scooptrams . These
pieces of equipment will become sequentially available starting in January 2026 with delivery
anticipated to be completed in Q1 2026.
Ventilation System Upgrades
The Company has ordered two new Howden industrial‑grade ventilation fans. A 600 hp unit will act as
the principal Rosarios Mine exhaust ventilation fan, while a 250 hp unit will enhance the ventilation in
the west mining areas of La Parrilla – see Figure 5. Both fans are engineered for high-efficiency airflow
and durability in demanding underground conditions, ensuring reliable ventilation performance across
critical areas of the operation. An additional 15 smaller underground auxiliary fan units have also been
ordered to assist airflow throughout the mining complex.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements:
Certain statements in this news release are forward -looking and involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of the phrase ‘forward-looking
information’ in the Canadian Securities Administrators’ Natio nal Instrument 51 -102 – Continuous
Disclosure Obligations. Forward -looking statements are not comprised of historical facts. Forward -
looking statements include estimates and statements that describe the Company’s future plans,
objectives or goals, including words to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated
condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”,
“anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan” . Since forward -looking
statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature
they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on information
currently available to the Company, the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet
management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors involved with forward -looking
information could cause actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to dif fer
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward -looking information. Forward -looking
information in this news release includes but is not limited to: the Company's plans and expectations
for La Parrilla ; the timeline for the delivery and installation of new equipment ; the timeline for
maintenance and rehabilitation of existing equipment, and the timeline and ability to place the La
Parrilla Complex back into operation.
In making the forward -looking statements included in this news release, the Company has applied
several material assumptions, including but not limited to the following: the Company´s financial
condition and development plans do not change because of unforeseen events, and management’s
ability to execute its business strategy; no unexpected or adverse regulatory changes with respect to
La Parrilla; the ability of contractors hired by the Company to complete their work on-time, on-budget,
and within the technical specifications required in their contracts; and the decision to potentially place
La Parrilla into production, and any related production decisions are largely based on internal
Company data and reports from previous operations and have not been supported by mineral reserve
estimates prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, preliminary economic assessments, pre-feasibility
or feasibility studies that demonstrate economic and technical viability. As a result, there is increased
uncertainty and a higher degree of economic and technical risk associated with any such production
decision than would be the case if such mineral reserves estimates or studies were completed and
relied upon to support a production decision. No mineral reserves have been established for La
Parrilla, and mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability .
The absence of mineral reserve estimates prepared in accordance with NI 43 -101, preliminary
economic assessments, pre-feasibility or feasibility studies supporting a production decision increases
the uncertainty of achieving any particular level of mineral recovery or the cost of such recovery, and
heightens the risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, projects
advanced without the support of such mineral reserves estimates and studies have experienced a
significantly higher incidence of economic and technic al failure. There can be no assurance that
production at La Parrilla will commence as anticipated or at all, or that any anticipated production
levels or operating costs will be achieved. A failure to commence production would have a material
adverse effect on the Com pany’s ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund its operations.
Similarly, a failure to achieve anticipated production costs would have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s cash flow and future profitability.
Forward-looking statements and information are subject to various known and unknown risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict, that may
cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from
those expressed or implied thereby, and are developed based on assumptions about such risks,
uncertainties and other factors set out herein.
Such forward -looking information represents managements best judgment based on information
currently available. No forward -looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual future results may
vary materially. Accordingly, readers are advised not to place und ue reliance on forward -looking
statements or information.
