Strip Ratio reduced from 1.37 to 0.77.

o  New open pit design delivers 28.5Mt aligning with new Heap Leach Facility
design capacity.

allows for seamless future expansion of the mine to increase overall copper
production.

·    Updated Capital Cost Estimate released in December 2024 delivering an
estimated US$58 million saving.

Corporate:

·    The Company successfully raised US$3.55 million in October 2024 via:

and management, raising gross proceeds of approximately US$3.295 million; and
