Prospect Ridge Resources Corp. (the "Company" or "Prospect Ridge") (CSE: PRR) (OTC: PRRSF) (FRA: OED) is pleased to announce many new discoveries on the Holy Grail property. High-grade samples were obtained just west of our Knauss Creek property in the vicinity of the Copper Ridge zone and Leon’s Legacy showings. Other high-grade results on the western limb of the property are located on Mount Garland and the Wesach mountain. The fully owned Holy Grail property, starts approximately 10 km north of Terrace, British Columbia.
The last few days of the 2023 prospecting program gave us a surprise when the field team decided to step out of Copper Ridge and go on the Holy Grail property side. This led to the discovery of two new showings named Golden Bowl and Temple located approximately 1.5 km to the west and 2.5 km to the northwest respectively. On the western limb of the property, the summer of 2023 results are outlining two clusters of samples returned high-grade results, one on Mount Garland and one on the Wesach mountain (Figure 1).
Highlights from outcrop samples:
Golden Bowl
- 9.99 g/t Au, 183 g/t Ag, 1.81% Cu, 7.4% Pb and 0.17% Zn (W500082)
- 8.35 g/t Au, 63 g/t Ag, 0.44% Cu, 3.5% Pb and 0.35% Zn (W386369)
Temple
- 8.16 g/t Au, 137 g/t Ag and 14.8% Cu (W500697)
- 0.18 g/t Au, 94 g/t Ag and 4.6% Cu (W500698)
- 0.08 g/t Au, 22 g/t Ag and 5.9% Cu (W500696)
Mount Garland
- 7.9% Cu, 634 g/t Ag and 0.7% Zn (W387642, erratic block)
- 5.1% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, 14 g/t Ag and (W489403)
- 2.2% Cu and 98 g/t Ag (W489406)
- 2.1% Cu, 61 g/t Ag and 0.23% Zn (W489408)
Wesach mountain
- 5.43 g/t Au, 9 g/t Ag, 0.22% Pb and 0.47% Zn (W501823)
- 1.13 g/t Au, 102 g/t Ag, 3.27% Pb and 2.57% Zn (W502285)
Prospect Ridge CEO Michael Iverson commented, “I’m thrilled with these new discoveries. Our exploration efforts have unveiled remarkable finds throughout the 2023 summer underscoring the richness of our land package and the skills of our field team. These new showings on the Holy Grail are confirming the extraordinary geological potential in the Terrace area south of the Golden Triangle.”
Prospect Ridge President Yan Ducharme added, “The Golden Bowl and Temple new discoveries are adding pieces to the puzzle connecting previously discovered Copper Ridge and Leon’s Legacy. These polymetallic veins stand as a testament to the barely tapped potential of this underexplored land package, hinting numerous future discoveries to be unearthed. All the mountains of the western reaches of the Holy grail have delivered high-grade showings often within a cluster of lower grade rocks. Summer 2024 will see us initiate the first drill holes on the Copper Ridge zone and we will pick up prospection where we left off.”
Eastern part of Holy Grail
Prospection approximately 1.5 km west of the Copper Ridge zone, in a topographic bowl, led to the discovery of a quartz vein containing 9.99 g/t Au, 183 g/t Ag, 1.81% Cu, 7.44% Pb and 0.17% Zn (W500082). Forty meters from it, another vein with 8.35 g/t Au, 63 g/t Ag, 0.44% Cu, 3.5% Pb and 0.35% Zn (W386369) was sampled. More mineralized veins were sampled at the bottom of the bowl, while two erratic blocks and a vein were sampled on the flank of it. The veins of this Golden Bowl showing are hosted in an intrusion.
Approximately 2.5 km northwest of the Copper Ridge zone and 1 km south of the Leon’s Legacy, 8.16 g/t Au, 137 g/t Ag and 14.8% Cu (W500697) was obtained on a quartz vein. Within 50 meters, two other samples gave 0.08 g/t Au, 22 g/t Ag and 5.92% Cu (W500696) and 0.18 g/t Au, 94 g/t Ag and 4.55% Cu (W500698). More mineralized samples were taken in the vicinity and are part of the Temple showing.
Western part of Holy Grail
The northern flank of Mount Garland is easily accessible by logging roads. The prospecting works led to the sampling of many quartz veins with chalcopyrite and malachite which contains mainly copper and silver, but also occasional gold and zinc occurrences. The best results were obtained from an erratic block, taken on a talus, which yield 7.91% Cu and 634 g/t Ag (W387642). Other in situ veins were sampled and gave 5.07% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, 14 g/t Ag (W489403), 2.20% Cu, 98 g/t Ag (W489406) and 2.09% Cu, 61 g/t Ag (W489408). These samples are part of a cluster covering an area of 3.5 km by 1.5 km of mineralized veins and blocks. The alpine part of Mount Garland has not been prospected yet.

Prospecting on the southern side of the Wesach mountain, uphill of the Wesach Creek, led to the discovery of many quartz veins bearing gold, silver, lead and zinc. Sample W501823 contains 5.43 g/t Au, 8.5 g/t Ag, 0.22% Pb and 0.47% Zn and sample W502285 contains 1.13 g/t Au, 102 g/t Ag, 3.27% Pb and 2.57% Zn. A cluster of mineralized samples covers an area of 400 m by 400 m. Some sampled erratic blocks returned copper, gold and silver values. The source has yet to be found.

Cautionary statements
Outcrop samples are selective by nature and grades may not be representative of mineralized zones. True thickness or mineralization style and geological models cannot be determined with the information currently available.
Quality control
Rock samples were assayed for gold by standard 50 g fire-assaying with atomic absorption finish (Au-AA24) or gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22) or 1000g metallic screening (Au-SCR24) at ALS Canada in Terrace, British Columbia. The samples were also assayed for 35 metals from an aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES finish (ME-ICP41). For samples with overlimit results in silver, copper, lead and zinc, aqua regia with ICP finish was used (OG46 ore grade). A quality assurance/quality control program has been implemented and consists of inserting standards on a regular basis in the samples stream.

About the Holy Grail property
The fully owned Holy Grail starts approximately 10 kilometres north of the town of Terrace in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. It is easily accessible by the Transcanadian highway, the Nisga’a highway and a network of logging roads. It covers about 700 square kilometres and is contiguous to our fully owned Knauss Creek property.
Several gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc occurrences were discovered in the past. Almost all the creeks draining the property were exploited at some point and alluvial gold was recovered.
During the 2023 field season, the Company continued exploring this huge land package which contains many showings of interest.
The southern tip of the Golden Triangle is located immediately northwest of the PRR properties. The Bowser Lake and the Hazelton Groups hosting most of the deposits and mines of this area are also underlying the Knauss Creek and Holy Grail properties.

PROSPECT RIDGE CONFIRMS LARGE MINERALIZED SYSTEM AT COPPER RIDGE ZONE OF KNAUSS CREEK PROPERTY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
Prospect Ridge Resources Corp. (the " Company " or " Prospect Ridge ") (CSE: PRR) (OTC: PRRSF) (FRA: OED) is pleased to announce the results of its drilling campaign at the Copper Ridge Zone (" Copper Ridge ") of its wholly-owned Knauss Creek property located approximately 35 kilometres (km) northeast of Terrace, British Columbia .
Drill Program Highlights
- The initial drilling campaign at Copper Ridge included a total of 2,229 metres (m) across 9 holes, and targeted surface anomalies covering an area over 1.5 km by 850 m identified during summer 2023 by prospecting. The drilling covered a 300 m by 300 m area in the western portion and 300 m by 150 m in the center portion of Copper Ridge.
- Mineralized veins were regularly intersected in all holes with additional mineralization observed locally in fractures and the host rock. Three different 20-metre corridors (core length) of gold-silver and copper-gold-silver were identified.
- During the 2023 field season, 80% of the outcrop samples collected were mineralized yielding results up to 78.9 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), 4610 g/t silver (Ag) and 29.4 % copper (Cu) (see news release of February 21 st , 2024). The holes drilled during the 2024 program intersected similar mineralization down to 120 m depth along strike.
Chief Executive Officer, Michael Iverson , stated: "We are pleased to share the results from the first drilling campaign at Copper Ridge, which successfully intersected mineralized intervals that confirm the extension at depth of the veins sampled at surface during the 2023 field season. We were also pleasantly surprised to find mineralization in fractures and disseminated through the intrusive host rock between the veins which we seldom observe on surface due to the intensity of the weathering. This initial drilling shows a large mineralized system of which we've tested only a small portion and that remains open in all directions. The results and the geological information collected will be used to vectorize the plans for the next exploration season. With over $2.7M remaining in our treasury, we are well-positioned financially to continue advancing our projects in the year ahead."
The best results are compiled in Table 1, while Figure 1 illustrates the drill hole locations in relation to the 2023 surface sampling program and the interpreted zones. Figure 2 illustrates a cross-section of the drill holes in the central portion of Copper Ridge.
Holes CR-24-001 and CR-24-002 targeted the westernmost portion of the zone where metal zonation was suspected based on the surface sampling results (see Figure 1). The Company hypothesized that a gold-silver area was followed to the north by a copper-gold-silver one. Hole CR-24-001 appears to have straddled both zones, intersecting an interval of 0.51 g/t Au and 1.7 g/t Ag over 20.5 m between 124.2 and 144.7 m along the hole and a further interval of 0.47 g/t Au, 34.3 g/t Ag and 0.40 % Cu over 2.0 m between 239.3 and 241.3 m . Hole CR-24-002 intersected regularly mineralized veins, which appear to be part of the gold-silver trend.
Holes CR-24-003, CR-24-004 and CR-24-005 targeted the surface anomaly cluster in the central portion of the Copper Ridge system where it was initially discovered. All three holes intersected a wide mineralized interval, interpreted as part of the same zone now referred to as the Green Manalishi. Hole CR-24-003 returned 0.39 g/t Au, 9.9 g/t Ag and 0.39 % Cu over 19.1 m ; CR-24-004 returned 0.18 g/t Au, 8.4 g/t Ag and 0.39 % Cu over 21.0 m ; and CR-24-005 returned 0.12 g/t Au, 3.3 g/t Ag and 0.19 %Cu over 22.7 m . Several additional mineralized intervals were intersected in all three holes suggesting another zone, GM2 (see Table 1) and demonstrating continuity of the structures. Surface samples can be correlated to those two zones.
Holes CR-24-006, CR-24-007 and CR-24-008 were drilled east of the previous holes and were testing the same cluster of anomalies, but also the continuity at depth of the Green Manalishi zone. This zone was intersected in all three holes: CR-24-006 returned 0.10 g/t Au, 2.7 g/t Ag and 0.11 %Cu over 6.7 m ; CR-24-007 intersected 5.44 g/t Au, 21.1 g/t Ag and 1.89 % Cu over 1.5 m ; and CR-24-008 returned 1.6 g/t Au, 6.1 g/t Ag and 0.17 % Cu over 4.7 m . Another zone, GM3, was interpreted in all three holes (see Table 1). Hole CR-24-008 which targeted rocks further north intersected alternating granodioritic intrusions, feldspar porphyry dikes and mudrocks. The presence of the sedimentary rocks suggests either an irregular contact with the intrusion, which is known to exist more to the east, or they are xenoliths. The sediments are locally mineralized, especially in silver, with also amounts of copper, gold and zinc.
The six Green Manalishi zone intercepts reveal a mineralized corridor that is oriented north-south and dips to the east. It primarily consists of chalcopyrite, but also of pyrite and malachite, found within quartz veins, fractures and disseminated in the host granodiorite. The GM2 and GM3 zones are believed to have a similar orientation as the Green Manalishi zone.
Hole CR-24-009 tested the western part of the same anomaly cluster and intersected 20.5 m at 0.05 g/t Au, 4.3 g/t Ag and 0.05% Cu, which correlate well with the location of the surface anomalies and are interpreted as the shallow expression of the GM2 zone.
This initial drilling campaign, generated entirely by Prospect Ridge from a surface discovery, has revealed a powerful gold-copper-silver mineralized system that remains open in all directions. The Company is developing a strategy for the next field season to further advance this target and apply the newly acquired knowledge to the mineralized showings to the rest of the property.

Cautionary Statement
Outcrop samples are selective by nature and grades may not be representative of mineralized zones. The drilling results reported are core length, true thickness of the mineralized zones has not yet been determined.
Quality Control
The drilling was conducted by Driftwood Diamond Drilling Ltd. The NQ caliber core was measured, photographed, logged and sampled by Prospect Ridge's personnel. The holes were sampled from the start to the end.
Core samples were assayed for gold by standard 50 g fire-assaying with atomic absorption finish (Au-AA24), gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22) or 1000g metallic screening (Au_ SCR24 ) at ALS Canada in Terrace, British Columbia . The samples were also assayed for 36 metals from an aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES finish (ME-ICP41). For samples with over-limit results in silver, copper, lead and zinc, aqua regia with ICP finish was used (OG46 ore grade). A quality assurance/quality control program has been implemented and consists of inserting standards on a regular basis in the samples stream and blanks and sample duplicates in suspected mineralized zones.
Qualified Person
All scientific or technical information included in this news release has been reviewed, verified and approved by Yan Ducharme , P.Geo., President of the Company and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. This news release was written by Yan Ducharme .
About Knauss Creek Property
The wholly-owned Knauss Creek is approximately 35 kilometres northeast of Terrace, British Columbia , Canada. It is easily accessible by Highway 16 and a network of logging roads. It covers approximately 30 square kilometres and is contiguous to the Company's wholly-owned Holy Grail property.
Several gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc occurrences were discovered, previously. The most notable is the Dorreen mine where four adits were developed and, according to historical documents, approximately 700 tons of ore were mined out at an average grade of 16.8 g/t Au, 58 g/t Ag, 0.22% Cu, 2.1% Pb and 1.4% Zn from a quartz vein (not 43-101 compliant).
During the 2023 field season, the Company explored the Copper Ridge mineralized zone which has become the main focus for exploration on the property.
The southern tip of the Golden Triangle is located immediately northwest of Prospect Ridge's properties. The Bowser Lake and the Hazelton Groups hosting most of the deposits and mines in this area also underly the Knauss Creek and Holy Grail properties.

PROSPECT RIDGE ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF COPPER RIDGE DRILL PROGRAM AT KNAUSS CREEK PROJECT
Prospect Ridge Resources Corp . (the " Company " or " Prospect Ridge ") (CSE: PRR) (OTC: PRRSF) (FRA: OED) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its inaugural drilling program at the Copper Ridge zone within the Knauss Creek property, located south of the Golden Triangle, near Terrace, British Columbia . These are the first drill holes in a newly identified target. The data collected from these first-ever drill holes will help inform the next steps in the Company's exploration program at Knauss Creek.
Knauss Creek Project Update
The drill program included a total of 2,229 metres in nine (9) drill holes. The program was designed to test high-priority targets identified through extensive prospecting and surface sampling, including previous outcrop samples with significant values of up to 78.9 g/t gold, 4,610 g/t silver and 29.4% copper.

RUA GOLD Reports High-Grade, near Surface Gold Intercepts at Cumberland, Including 1m @ 26.9 g/t Au and 1m @ 16.2 g/t Au, Confirming Continuity of Mineralization at the Gallant Target
Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) ("Rua Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce initial drill results from the Cumberland gold camp at the Reefton Project on New Zealand's South Island.
In the first month of drilling, the initial two holes intersected near-surface, high-grade gold mineralization. These results validate the prospective targets identified through VRIFY 's AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform, DORA. Drilling is ongoing and continues to build on these encouraging early results, with systematic testing progressing southward along the 2.2 km historic mine corridor.
Highlights:
Significant broad quartz veins were intersected in drillholes CUDDH001 and CUDDH002, defining true widths of the main Gallant vein ranging from 5m to 9m. These results are consistent with historical intersections reported by OceanaGold Limited.
Assay results show:
- CUDDH001: 3m @ 6.3g/t Au from 44m depth
- Including 1m @ 16.2g/t Au
- CUDDH002: 14m @ 3.4g/t Au from 64m depth
- Including 1m @ 26.9g/t Au
- CUDDH001: 3m @ 6.3g/t Au from 44m depth
Historical drilling by prior operators targeting the Gallant structure intercepted 20.7m of quartz with individual 1m assays ranging from 0.15g/t gold to 1911g/t gold (60oz/t).
Drilling has confirmed discrete zones of high-grade gold mineralization hosted by quartz veins, accompanied by a broad halo of lower-grade gold from surface to a depth of 80m.
The visible gold within quartz is reminiscent of the style and size of Federation's Blackwater Project, 11km to the south.
The geological team have relocated the drill rig to a new pad situated 100m south of the initial drill pad. 6 holes of depths ranging from 70m to 180m are planned, where surface mapping has identified quartz veins extending 200m southward.
Steeply dipping quartz veins with continuity from surface contributes to significantly lower drilling and development costs, supporting efficient advancement towards a resource.
The Cumberland structural zone was identified as a standout target using the VRIFY AI tool. Subsequent drilling will systematically test the 2.2km Cumberland gold camp, with a focus on high-priority targets identified by the VRIFY AI tool.
The Cumberland gold camp is a historic site located 3km south of Globe-Progress Mine, which has a rich production history of over 1 million ounces of gold produced. Drilling of the Gallant target within the Cumberland gold camp began in April 2025. The first two holes, CUDDH001 and CUDDH002, intersected 25m of mineralization, marking a strong start to the exploration of the gold camp.
Robert Eckford, CEO of Rua Gold, commented, "We acquired the Cumberland gold camp in November 2024 and received access agreements to commence drilling in April 2025. From the very first drill holes, we intersected significant, wide quartz veins hosting high-grade gold, confirming historical intercepts. This marks an exciting start, validating the effectiveness of the VRIFY AI targeting process and confirming near-surface mineralization with the potential to extend the envelope of known mineralization across a 2km structural zone.
Our focus is on developing economically viable ounces, and the Gallant target is a key part of this strategy. Fully accessible via a road, the Gallant target has logistical simplicity for both exploration and potential development. Achieving high-grade, near-surface intercepts at this early stage is a significant milestone in demonstrating the viability of our hub-and-spoke business model that we envisage for the Reefton Goldfield.
The Gallant prospect represents the first VRIFY target that we have drilled so far. This structure is traceable on surface for over 600m and remains largely untested along strike and at depth. These initial results are an encouraging step in defining the potential shape and size of this target."

RESULTS FROM INITIAL DRILLING
Based on the extensive surface exploration work and historical drilling, the Gallant target within the Cumberland gold camp stands out as an exceptional high-grade target. Following the completion of mining at the Globe-Progress Mine, the Gallant target was left largely untested. Quartz veins are exposed on surface within an envelope of strong gold-arsenic anomalism.
The Gallant lode was previously drilled by OceanaGold Limited 15 years ago, with several exploratory holes drilled on a well-defined quartz vein at shallow depth (Table 5 and Figure 2).
Results from drill holes CUDDH001 and CUDDH002 confirm the consistency of the near-surface Galant lode and support the strong potential of this target, following up the historical hole GAL001 drilled by OceanaGold Limited, which resulted in 20.7m @ 62.2 g/t (2 oz/t) Au. Full assay results are in Tables 1 and 2 of the appendices.
Drill hole CUDDH003, drilled to the north, intercepted a 2m quartz vein, but did not intersect the main vein, and similarly, drill hole CUDDH004 did not intersect the quartz, suggesting the structure steepens and is potentially offset to the north. Drill hole CUDDH005 intercepted historical workings with remanent quartz veins in the foot and hanging wall, confirming the continuity of the veins southward. Assays are pending for drill hole CUDDH007.
Ongoing drilling is targeting the southern surface extension of the Gallant lode 100m along strike and at depth. Intensified surface exploration is underway further south to delineate additional drill targets along the southern extensions of the structure.

VRIFY'S AI-ASSISTED MINERAL DISCOVERY PLATFORM
The Company has partnered with VRIFY to onboard DORA, their AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform to accelerate discovery, reduce costs and further de-risk exploration.
In conjunction with the consolidation of the Reefton Goldfield in November 2024, the Company implemented DORA, where early in the AI training phase, the platform identified Cumberland as a standout target. The VRIFY team has assimilated geochemistry, drilling and geophysical data across the entire district with unprecedented scale and accuracy, processing over 84GB of data, and more than 170,000 data points. This comprehensive analysis is directly informing our 2025 drill targets, accelerating our project advancement and de-risking our work programs.
Rua Gold's data was unlocked through DORA, VRIFY's Al-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform which synthesized complex datasets in minutes, a process that would have taken months, if performed manually. This enabled Rua Gold's exploration team to actively and effectively rank its 2025 drill targets using data-backed insights.
ACCELERATED DISCOVERY: Rua Gold inherited thousands of data points from historic activity on its multiple mine sites and exploration work with the Reefton Goldfields. The ability to rapidly mine this existing data for new insights and targets, while incorporating recent work, provided real-time feedback through VRIFY's platform to inform drilling programs.
SCALABILITY and COST SAVINGS: Rua Gold is just beginning and is confident that VRIFY will continue to add value by allowing for the analysis of larger datasets without increasing costs linearly.
HIGHER ACCURACY: VRIFY's proprietary Al model reduces human error and bias, while and identifying patterns that manual review might miss, increasing discovery potential.

QAQC Drill Core Samples
Drillhole collar locations were recorded using a Garmin GPSMAP 66i by Rua Gold staff. Downhole surveys were completed for each drillhole at 30m intervals by using a GYRO system by the drill contractor Alton Drilling.
Drillholes were split sampled following 1-m sample intervals unless sample contacts are dictated by mineralization. PQ and HQ core were sampled as half core. NQ core was analyzed as whole core; requiring cutting only along sample intervals.
Drill core samples were sent to SGS Westport for sample preparation. Core was crushed to 75% passing 2 mm (SGS code CRU75), and a 1-kg split of material was pulverized (to 85% passing 75 µm; SGS code PUL85_CR). No split duplicates were collected during the crushing steps. Two scoops were taken from the pulverize bowl: one for laboratory analysis (~150 g) and the other for pXRF analysis (~100 g). The pulp reject is stored at Rua Gold's Reefton facility.
Coarse gold intersections were sampled in full, dried and dispatched to ALS Perth, Australia, for PhotonAssay analysis. Samples were coarse crushed at ALS Perth (ALS code CRU-21) and ~500 g of material used for analysis.
QAQC PHOTON ASSAYING
Samples were analyzed by PhotonAssay at ALS Perth, Australia (ALS code Au-PA01), which has a detection range of 0.03-350 ppm Au. PhotonAssay analysis works by bombarding samples with high-energy X-rays which excite atomic nuclei that produce gamma rays at signature energies, allowing for gold detection. This method has a fast turnaround time and is non-destructive, allowing the preservation of the entire whole-core and unlimited repeat testing. Samples were submitted with certified reference material (CRM) from OREAS into the sample stream every 5 samples.
ALS Perth is independent of Rua Gold and its quality management systems framework is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 or certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards.
The QP has verified the data disclosed including sampling, assay procedure and analytical information contained in the written disclosure.

Element79 Gold Corp. Comments on Peruvian Government Reform Centralizing Oversight of Small-Scale Mining Under Ministry of Energy and Mines
(TheNewswire)
Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire - May 22, 2025 Element79 Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Element79") (CSE: ELEM, OTC: ELMGF, FSE: 7YS0) wishes to comment on recent developments affecting the mining sector in Peru, where the Company's flagship Lucero Project is located.
Highlights:
The Peruvian government has enacted Supreme Decree No. 009-2025-EM , transferring oversight of small-scale and artisanal mining from regional governments to the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) .
The deadline for the mandated Formalization of REINFO (Comprehensive Mining Formalization Registry) permit holders with mineral right holders has been extended until December 31, 2025 , giving operators more time to formalize.
MINEM's Directorate General of Mining Formalization will now handle all administrative, monitoring, and enforcement processes related to mining formalization.
Reform is grounded in Law No. 32213 , published in December 2024.
A new national traceability platform (SIPMMA) is being launched to improve transparency and monitoring of registered small-scale mining operations.
The reform has raised concerns among regional governments over loss of local oversight and potential impacts on decentralized governance.
Element79 Gold Corp supports centralized oversight if implemented with community engagement and regional collaboration.
The Lucero Project remains a core focus , with continued efforts to formalize local artisanal miners and advance exploration toward production.
The Company reaffirms its commitment to social investment and long-term community relationships in Chachas and surrounding areas.
Following success in Nevada asset development and sales , Element79 Gold Corp. will reignite strategic initiatives in that jurisdiction.
In May 2025, the Government of Peru enacted Supreme Decree No. 009-2025-EM, which extends the validity of the Comprehensive Mining Formalization Registry (REINFO) until December 31, 2025, and shifts responsibility for supervising small-scale and artisanal mining from regional governments to the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM).
Under this reform, the Directorate General of Mining Formalization within MINEM will assume exclusive responsibility for the administrative processing, monitoring, and enforcement of formalization-related matters. The changes are grounded in Law No. 32213, published in December 2024, and are designed to enable a more centralized, technical, and transparent regulatory process.
This centralization will be further supported by the implementation of a new national traceability platform, the Sistema Interoperable de la Pequeña Minería y Minería Artesanal (SIPMMA), which aims to improve oversight and data integration across registered mining activities.
While the reform has raised concerns among regional governments regarding reduced local oversight and the implications for decentralized governance, Element79 believes the changes may ultimately contribute to improved regulatory clarity and operational efficiencies across the sector.
"We are closely monitoring this policy shift and its implementation," commented James Tworek, CEO and Director of Element79 Gold Corp. "Given Lucero's location and strategic focus within the artisanal and small-scale mining segment, we view enhanced regulatory structure and centralized oversight as potentially beneficial, provided that community engagement and regional collaboration remain part of the process."
The Company further notes that the extension of the REINFO deadline through December 2025 allows additional time for regional operators and stakeholders to advance their formalization efforts, which may support ongoing engagement strategies with artisanal miners operating within and around the Lucero Project.
Element79 Gold Corp believes in the long-term potential of the Lucero Project, continues to maintain the project's mineral leases, and is proud of the community-based investments, social development efforts, and relationships it has built since acquiring Lucero at the end of June 2022. The Company will continue its efforts in forging contracts with the local community for both the formalization of local artisanal miners as well as the Company's own exploration and development of Lucero into a producing mine.
Corporate Strategy Refocus
In addition to ongoing efforts and campaigns to work in Chachas, the Company's management and board identifies that following notable successes in developing and monetizing assets in Nevada, it will be carrying out a renewed strategic focus in the region. This strategic shift will include dealing and development of its current portfolio of Nevada projects, growth of the management team with regionally-specific exploration experience, as well as is reviewing additional M&A opportunities in the region.

Quimbaya Gold Reports High-Grade Rock Samples up to 11.21 g/t Au and 23.3 g/t Ag at Tahami South, Colombia
Early-stage exploration results align with proven discovery model in the Segovia district.
Quimbaya Gold Inc. (CSE: QIM) (OTCQB: QIMGF) (FSE: K05) ("Quimbaya Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce initial results from the recently initiated field programs at its Tahami South Gold Project in Antioquia, Colombia. Current work includes detailed geological mapping, rock channel sampling, stream sediment surveys, and soil sampling, all designed to refine and prioritize targets ahead of the Company's maiden drill campaign scheduled to commence in Q2 2025 (Figure 1).
The Tahami South Project is located within one of Colombia's most prolific gold-producing regions, the Segovia-Zaragoza belt and sits just 1.8 kilometres northeast of Aris Mining's flagship Segovia operation, which contains over 13.8 million ounces of gold, and continues to host one of the country's most robust resource bases (Historical production 7,962 Moz, M &I resources 3,629 Moz, inferred resource 1,823 Moz; Wilson & Redwood, 2010; De Marc et al., 2023).
Recent surface exploration by Quimbaya Gold has further validated the geological prospectivity of the area, returning high-grade gold values up to Au@ 11.21 g/t & Ag@ 6 g/t for grab rock, and Au@ 1.4 g/t & Ag@ 23.3 g/t for panel rock sample, supported by classic epithermal pathfinder geochemistry and strong structural control (figure 2). Together, these results align closely with known mineralization styles in the district and provide a robust technical foundation for the Company's upcoming drill campaign in Q2 2025 - an initiative aimed at unlocking a potentially significant high-grade vein system along this underexplored extension of the Segovia trend.
Key Technical Highlights
Surface rock sampling at Tahami South returned high-grade gold values up to 11.21 g/t Au, with multiple samples exceeding 1 g/t, supporting the company's thesis of a robust precious metal system at surface. These results were generated from 60 channel and grab samples across 144 hectares of jungle-covered terrain - an early-stage success that underscores the potential of the target area.
In addition to strong gold values, the geochemical suite includes consistently elevated levels of key pathfinder elements such as arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) - all characteristic of epithermal to intermediate sulfidation systems found along the Segovia-Zaragoza trend. Select samples also returned anomalous Molybdenum values up to Mo@ 70 ppm, further supporting the potential for structural overprinting or hybrid mineralizing events. Collectively, these signatures reinforce the project's alignment with the geological architecture and mineralization styles that have yielded some of Colombia's most significant gold discoveries.
The company's use of geologic mapping, Lidar, and systematic geochemical sampling follows discovery techniques that, as documented by Dr. Stewart Redwood, have accounted for the majority of significant gold finds in Antioquia over the past 50 years.
This detailed technical groundwork is a deliberate and essential step in Quimbaya's exploration strategy, helping to refine and prioritize the most compelling targets for the Company's upcoming drill campaign in Q2 2025. By advancing this program with precision and discipline, the team is building a stronger foundation for success - one rooted in geological confidence and targeting certainty. These early-stage results not only validate the exploration model but also enhance the Company's conviction in the broader potential of Tahami South as a district-scale, high-grade gold system.
"Tahami South exhibits all the essential hallmarks of a fertile gold system at the reconnaissance stage: strong surface gold grades, well-developed quartz-sulfide veining, and a classic pathfinder suite including arsenic, antimony, lead, and zinc - all within a structural corridor that aligns with known productive trends in Antioquia. These are the types of indicators that have preceded many of Colombia's most significant discoveries. When supported by systematic mapping and geochemistry, as Quimbaya is doing here, such signatures significantly enhance the probability of drilling into a meaningful mineralized system." Dr. Stewart D. Redwood, Economic Geologist & SEG Fellow.

Connecting Structure, Geochemistry and Scale
Exploration at Tahami South is being guided by a disciplined, model-driven approach that integrates structural mapping, geochemical data, and high-resolution topographic analysis to define the structural controls on mineralization. Recent work has outlined a network of northeast- and east-west-trending quartz veins and hydrothermal breccias hosted within andesitic and intrusive rocks - a structural architecture closely aligned with productive corridors in the Segovia district. Lidar interpretation and field mapping have revealed vein exposures and alteration zones that correlate with elevated gold and pathfinder element values, including arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn). These features, taken together, suggest an intermediate-sulfidation epithermal system with potential for multiple mineralized shoots. The geochemical vectoring - particularly where pathfinder anomalies overlap key structural intersections - is now informing high-priority targets as the Company prepares for its inaugural drill campaign. The scale and coherence of these features suggest the potential for a significant mineralized system emerging within an underexplored extension of the Segovia trend.
"Everything we're seeing tells us we may be sitting on something significant, and that's why we're taking a disciplined and methodical approach. When you test a system like this for the first time, it is very important to get everything right, and this foundation gives us strong conviction heading into our upcoming drill campaign, and we're excited about what's ahead."
