London, October 30th, 2025. Orosur Mining Inc. ("Orosur" or the "Company")
(TSXV/AIM:OMI), is pleased to announce an update on the progress of
exploration activities at the Company's gold exploration projects at Anzá in
Colombia ("Anzá) and El Pantano in Argentina.
Anzá - Colombia
The Anzá Project in Colombia comprises a number of granted exploration titles
and applications totalling roughly 330km2, within the Mid-Cauca gold belt,
west of the city of Medellin.
These titles and applications are owned by two Colombia companies, Minera
Anzá, and Minera Monte Aguila, both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of
the Company. The latter of these companies was acquired by Orosur in November
2024 from the Company's previous JV partners, Newmont Mining and Agnico Eagle
Mines. Orosur thus owns 100% of the Anzá Project.
Since acquiring 100% control, the Company has focussed its attention on three
prospects:
· Pepas - a shallow, high-grade body of gold mineralisation that the
Company is endeavouring to move to an initial Mineral Resource Estimate in the
near term.
· APTA - a high-grade body of gold mineralisation that has to date seen
38,000m of drilling, but is not yet sufficiently understood geologically to
allow a MRE to be calculated. The Company plans to undertake additional
drilling at APTA in late 2025 with the objective of advancing it toward an MRE
as quickly as possible.
· El Cedro - a large gold porphyry system in the south of the Anza
Project area. The Company has just completed a large sampling program and
plans to undertake a maiden drill program here in early 2026.

Pepas
As announced on 14(th) July 2025, the Company took the formal decision to
commence infill drilling at its Pepas gold prospect at Anzá, with the
objective of moving Pepas to a NI43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate
(MRE) by the end of the year.
Drilling progress has recently slowed largely due to issues related to broken
ground in hole PEP065 and the need to reconfigure the drill rig for PQ
metallurgical drilling followed by the subsequent expected slower pace of
advance for this larger diameter core.
Hole PEP-066 was a hole drilled to provide material for detailed metallurgical
testing - the hole was drilled using a wider diameter PQ bit to provide
additional material for testing and was drilled through the centre of the ore
body so as to provide material representative of all mineral domains thus far
identified. In order for all domains to be intersected, it was necessary to
drill into known ore zones, and thus PEP-066 was drilled very close to several
previous holes that had returned high grade intersections.
These three holes have all returned exceptional high grade gold assay results.
Hole Number From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Au (g/t)

El Cedro
The El Cedro prospect lies to the south of the same integrated licence that
hosts both Pepas and APTA and is roughly 4km south of the APTA base camp.
Work on the area began some years before Orosur's tenure, when Anglo American
undertook reconnaissance mapping and sampling, identifying a highly
prospective gold/copper porphyry system.
Little work was then undertaken until late 2021, when the Company's previous
JV partner MMA re-entered the area to carry out mapping, sampling and ground
geophysics that confirmed Anglo American's previous work and mapped several
large dioritic intrusions and associated epithermal systems.
The Company subsequently began a large-scale soil geochemical survey in May
2025, planned to cover most of what was thought to be the extent of the
porphyry system. Soil samples were taken at roughly 25m intervals, along
ridges and spurs for ease of access and to ensure soils were residual.
This survey has just been completed, with gold assay results identifying a
substantial, gold bearing system, with highly anomalous geochemical responses
over a large, well preserved zoned porphyry system, with soil samples assays
at times exceeding 1g/t Au.
Figure 5. El Cedro Soil Samples
Company geological teams have examined these new geochemical data, in
conjunction with historical mapping information and airborne geophysical data
collected in 2012. An outcome of this work is the hypothesis that El Cedro
may in fact consist of multiple porphyry intrusions, with a second potential
intrusive system being identified to the south of the known El Cedro porphyry,
within the same regional structural corridor.
Of additional interest is apparent associated epithermal systems marginal to
both porphyries, with high-grade gold in rock chips having been previously
recorded in veins.
Figure 6. El Cedro, multiple porphyry bodies, soils and rock chips
Figure 7. Regional tectonic setting
The Company is now planning additional mapping and soil sampling programs over
this southern porphyry. In addition, it has been determined that the older
airborne geophysical data, while of value, were of moderate quality and thus
it is planned that a more detailed helicopter aeromagnetic and radiometric
survey will be undertaken in November or December this year to provide an
added layer of lithostructural information about these intrusive systems, the
associated epithermal systems, and APTA to the north.
It is expected that drilling at El Cedro could commence in first quarter of
calendar 2026.
NI-43-101 Technical Report
The Company's geological consultants are currently well advanced in reviewing
all exploration work undertaken at Anzá since the last NI43-101 technical
report was published in 2019. An external team is due on site in the first
week of November to finalise this program and to observe and assess all of the
QAQC processes and procedures.
The primary objective of this work program is the development of an updated
NI43-101 Technical Report which may, if deemed appropriate by the consultants,
include a Mineral Resource Estimate for the Pepas prospect.
El Pantano - Argentina
The El Pantano Project is an early-stage gold/silver exploration project in
Santa Cruz province, southern Argentina.
The Project comprises approximately 550km2 of contiguous granted licences in
the prolific Deseado Massif of Santa Cruz, roughly 45km from Anglo Gold's
Cerro Vanguardia mining camp and 90km SE of Newmont Mining's giant Cerro Negro
mine.
The El Pantano Project is subject to an Exploration & Joint Venture ("JV")
agreement ("Agreement") with private Argentinean company DESEADO DORADO S.A.S
and its shareholders ("Deseado"), the details of which were announced on
February 15(th) 2022.
The Company currently owns 51% of El Pantano, having met its obligation to
spend US$1m in exploration expenditure by February 2025. The Company is now in
Phase 2 of the joint venture, whereby it may earn an additional 49% equity in
the project (taking the Company to 100% ownership) by investing US$2m in the
two years to February 2027. Upon such an event, the original vendors would
retain a 2% NSR royalty, 1% of which the Company could purchase for US$1m at
its discretion.
At the time the JV commenced, the El Pantano project was a largely untouched
grass roots gold/silver exploration project. Some historical sampling and
geophysics had been done in the SE of the project, but 80% of the project area
had never been explored and no drilling had ever been undertaken anywhere
within the Project area.
The Company entered the JV on the basis of regional geological data and field
mapping that indicated the potential for a major, previously unknown
district-scale low-sulphidation epithermal system.
Post signing, the Company immediately began the process of geological mapping,
geochemical sampling and geophysics across the licence package.
This work was completed in late 2024, with all work to date confirming our
geological hypothesis that El Pantano is a highly prospective, untouched
epithermal system.
Figure 8. El Pantano geology and geochemistry
The Company has taken the decision that the Project is drill ready. A camp
has been established in this remote region and a diamond drill rig will arrive
on site this week, with a plan to commence drilling in coming days.
The Company has planned a 3000m diamond drilling campaign across various
sections of the identified 25km long epithermal structure, targeting
geochemical and geophysical anomalies. It is expected this program will
continue into late January 2026, allowing for the Christmas break.
This drilling program is designed purely to be reconnaissance in nature. No
drilling has ever been undertaken on the El Pantano property, and while
surface geological data are encouraging, information related to the vertical
zonation is required to develop the exploration model.
Orosur CEO Brad George commented:
"Post our recent capital raising, Orosur is now free to explore. Our
strategy of geological selection, 100% ownership and examining near term
production is paying dividends, positioning us well in this buoyant gold
market".
