HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights for the three months ended August 31, 2025 include:
Operational
· In Colombia, on July 14, 2025, the Company announced that it had
taken the formal decision to begin a work program that, if successful, would
allow a Mineral Resource Estimate to be calculated at its Pepas gold prospect,
within the Anzá gold project area in Colombia. The decision was taken on the
basis of external conceptual studies that suggest the location and physical
characteristics of the gold mineralisation so far defined at Pepas, in the
context of record high gold prices, may offer potential nearer term production
opportunities. The in-fill drilling program continued throughout the quarter
and post the period end and may be followed by a Mineral Resource Estimate and
an evaluation of the economics for production at Pepas. Thereafter the Company
will return to wider exploration drilling, including at APTA.
Earlier stage exploration continues at the El Cedro prospect. The El
Cedro prospect is a large gold porphyry system, located toward the south of
the Anzá project, on the same granted exploration licence as the Pepas and
APTA deposits. The Company recommenced a large ridge and spur soil sampling
program at El Cedro that had been previously suspended due to seasonal rain
and access issues. This program has continued beyond the period end and is
now 90% complete.
· In Argentina, earlier this year the Company announced the
successful completion of the first phase of the two-phase exploration joint
venture over the El Pantano gold project in Santa
Cruz province, Argentina ("Project" or "El Pantano"). This milestone marked
a significant step forward in the Company's strategic development of the
Project. Having invested US$1m over three years, the Company has now earned
a direct 51% interest in the Argentine company, Deseado Dorado S.A.S
("Deseado"), that owns the exploration licences that make up the Project. The
Company has now moved into the second phase of the JV, that will see it move
to 100% ownership of Deseado upon investment of an additional US$2m over two
years. Upon such an outcome, the original vendors would then retain a residual
2% NSR royalty, 1% of which the Company could repurchase at its election
for US$1m. A geophysical campaign was completed during the quarter with the
objective of further refining targets at the Project where drilling is
expected to commence imminently with a 3,000 metre program of diamond
drilling.
· In Nigeria, given the continued weakness in the price of lithium
and in view of the Company's need to prioritise the use of its capital and
human resources, a decision has been taken to withdraw from the project which
should happen over the next few weeks. The investment in Nigeria was fully
impaired in the Company's financial statements as at May 31, 2025.
Financial
· On August 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $3,906 (May
31, 2025 $4,877). As at the date of this MD&A and including the funds
raised in the private placement (detailed below), the Company had a cash
balance of $17.2 million.
· Post period end, on September 18, 2025 the Company announced an
upsized brokered private placement (the "Placing") to raise gross proceeds of
up to CAD$ 20 million through the issue of up to 58,823,530 common shares at a
price of CAD$0.34 per common share. The Placing, which was over- subscribed,
was completed on October 2 2025 and raised CAD$ 20 million. No warrants were
issued in connection with the Placing.
Outlook and Strategy
The Company will focus its investment in Colombia and Argentina whilst also
looking for new opportunities in South America.
In Colombia, within the Anza Project, the Company is looking to complete its
in-fill drilling program at Pepas which would allow Maiden Resource Estimate
to be completed at Pepas. Thereafter the Company will continue to investigate
the possibility of a resource estimate at its APTA prospect whilst it refines
its geological models around Pepas to identify possible target areas. At El
Cedro, geological mapping and sampling is nearing completion. Historical
geophysics is being reprocessed and, if warranted, new geophysical data will
be acquired.
In Argentina, the Company will shortly commence a 3,000 metre drilling program
at the El Pantano project.

Qualified Persons Statement
The information in this news release was compiled, reviewed, verified and
approved by Mr. Brad George, BSc Hons (Geology and Geophysics), MBA, Member of
the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (MAIG), CEO of Orosur Mining Inc.
and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
Orosur Mining Inc. staff follow standard operating and quality assurance
procedures to ensure that sampling techniques and sample results meet
international reporting standards. Drill core is split in half over widths
that vary between 0.3m and 2m, depending upon the geological domain. One half
is kept on site in the Minera Anzá core storage facility, with the other sent
for assay.
Industry standard QAQC protocols are put in place with approximately 10% of
total submitted samples being blanks, repeats or Certified Reference Materials
(CRMs). Samples for holes PEP-001 to PEP-011 were sent to the Medellin
preparation facility of ALS Colombia Ltd, and then to the ISO 9001 certified
ALS Chemex laboratory in Lima, Peru.
Samples from PEP-012 onwards are sent to Medellin laboratory of Actlabs for
preparation and assay.
30 gram nominal weight samples are then subject to fire assay and AAS analysis
for gold with gravimetric re-finish for overlimit assays of >5 g/t.
ICP-MS Ultra-Trace level multi-element four-acid digest analyses may also
undertaken for such elements as silver, copper, lead and zinc, etc.
Gold intersections are reported using a lower cut-off of 0.3g/t Au over 3m.
Intersections are quoted as downhole thicknesses. True thicknesses are
unknown.
