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."

Partnership with Leading Colombian Mining Group to Formalize Artisanal Mining Production and Accelerate Exploration
Quimbaya Gold Inc. (CSE: QIM) (OTCQB: QIMGF) (FSE: K05) ("Quimbaya Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the signing of a binding Letter of Intent with Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF), establishing a 50:50 joint venture aimed at formalizing existing small-scale mining operations located within the Company's Tahami Project, located in the Segovia Gold District of Antioquia, Colombia.
This collaboration seeks to integrate artisanal mining operations into a formalized structure to create mutually beneficial partnerships while supporting and empowering the host communities. Importantly, this initiative complements Quimbaya's ongoing exploration efforts, including its planned 4,000-meter drilling campaign at Tahami South, by fostering stronger community relations and facilitating access to key areas. Both parties are working diligently to finalize a definitive agreement as soon as possible, subject to customary regulatory and corporate approvals.
Joint Venture Highlights
50:50 Production Partnership: Equal profit sharing between Quimbaya and Denarius (via Zancudo Metals Corp.). Denarius will provide technical and financial support so that the artisanal miners can legalize their production within the mining legalization program.
Joint development targeted on the Tahami South and Tahami North areas within the Tahami Project. Exploitation will focus on concessions SHO-08001, SE9-13331, LJQ-08001 and HHII-21 owned by Quimbaya.
Formalization of Existing Activities: The partnership aims to formalize current artisanal mining operations, aligning with successful models in the region.
Support for Exploration: By formalizing artisanal mining activities, the joint venture enhances community engagement, supporting Quimbaya's ongoing drilling and exploration initiatives.
Upcoming Cash Flow Opportunity: Upon finalizing the definitive agreement, efforts will commence to generate cash flow from the existing small-scale mining operations.
Complementary Strategy: This joint venture complements Quimbaya's exploration objectives, ensuring continued focus on making a high-grade discovery at Tahami.

Strategic Importance
This agreement allows Quimbaya to tap into a proven model of success already active in the Segovia-Remedios Mining District ("DMSR" by its initials in Spanish), where formalized artisanal mining contributes to Aris Mining's neighboring gold production. By partnering with Denarius - led by Serafino Iacono, a key figure behind the rise of Gran Colombia Gold (now Aris Mining), which was the largest underground gold and silver producer in Colombia for many decades and with current gold production of over 200,000 ounces per year from three main mines in the high-grade DMSR - Quimbaya gains access to a team with deep experience in turning artisanal mining into structured, profitable operations that benefit both communities and shareholders.

"This is a pivotal step for Quimbaya," said Alexandre P. Boivin, President and CEO of Quimbaya Gold, " as partnering with one of the most experienced exploration and mining teams in Colombia will not only allow Quimbaya to quickly leverage this existing opportunity, but also to deliver on our community objective of helping formalize artisanal miners, while we continue advancing our broader exploration and drilling plans to make a high-grade gold discovery on the Tahami South property."
About the Tahami Project
Located adjacent to Aris Mining's flagship Segovia Operations-one of the highest-grade underground gold producers globally-the Tahami Project spans over 17,000 hectares across a district-scale vein system that shows analogies with the DMSR, with historic artisanal activity and substantial exploration upside. The area is supported by existing infrastructure, a favorable mining jurisdiction, and a strong tradition of gold production.

Metals Focus anticipates that the underlying conditions supporting gold's record run will persist through 2025, with the price expected to reach a yearly average of US$3,210, a record high.
Up until the start of 2025, investor sentiment remained low, particularly in western markets where exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw outflows for much of the year. It wasn’t until October, as the price of gold approached the US$2,800 mark, that ETF inflows in the US and Europe began to gain positive momentum.
Significant purchases by central banks in Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe provided essential pricing support for gold behind the price gains in 2024. Overall, central banks added a record 1,086 metric tons throughout the year.
This buying was driven by countries aiming to diversify their monetary holdings away from the US dollar, as gold serves as a non-liability-bearing reserve asset. The shift in monetary policy has gained attention over the past several years, especially after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and growing concerns over US overreach following the country’s actions to cut Russia off from the global banking system and restrict the use of the US dollar.
Investors also noted the persistent tensions between Russia and Ukraine, along with fears that the Israel–Gaza conflict could escalate into a broader regional war, which further influenced sentiment in favour of gold as a haven asset.
The underlying global drivers have persisted into early 2025, accompanied by new tailwinds for the gold market.
These include the chaos caused by US trade policy, which has created a rift between the world’s largest economy and key trading partners, notably Canada, Mexico, and China. Tariffs have heightened the expectation of a trade war that could affect supply chains and future trade agreements.
The severity, permanence, and outcomes of these measures have only just begun to be felt in the market. US market data registered a slight uptick in inflation numbers for May, and the US Federal Reserve suggested that uncertainty played a role in its decision to maintain interest rates at its last meeting on May 6-7.
Policies enacted by the Trump administration since the beginning of the year have led to a slowdown in global economic growth and have even raised the spectre of a recession as the tariffs threaten to reverse global central banks’ fight against inflation.
In addition to US foreign policy, its ballooning debt continues to erode confidence in the US dollar as the global reserve currency. The current US debt sits around US$37 trillion. The Trump administration pledged to tackle growing debt by cutting government spending through new initiatives like the Department of Government Efficiency.
However, a new spending bill that would essentially extend Donald Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would reduce federal income by US$4.5 billion, with minimal decrease in spending to offset this loss.
The overall sustainability of the US economy has raised significant concern among investors, particularly as expectations suggest that Trump’s policies will worsen the debt crisis in the US. This has led to considerable instability in US and global equity markets since the start of the year, resulting in increased inflows into gold and gold-backed securities.
High prices are causing significant shifts in market demand, leading Metals Focus to predict a net decline of 9 percent in 2025, with total tonnage falling to 4,246 metric tons from the 4,669 metric tons recorded in 2024.
Leading the way is jewellery, the largest demand segment, which is projected to decrease by 16 percent in 2025, dropping from 2,011 metric tons in 2024 to 1,696 metric tons, with India and China contributing the most substantial declines.
In India, a shift towards lighter weight and lower karat pieces is expected to accelerate, while in China, high prices, weak consumer sentiment, and a sluggish economy will impact demand there.
In other countries, jewellery demand is likely to be affected by high prices, low consumer confidence, and economic uncertainty.

Additionally, central banks are expected to slow their pace of buying, with Metals Focus suggesting an 8 percent decline to 1,000 metric tons, down from the record 1,089 metric tons purchased the previous year.
However, these declines will be offset by increases in other sectors.
Net physical demand is predicted to rise by 2 percent to 1,218 metric tons from 1,191 metric tons in 2024 as more investors will be drawn to gold to diversify their portfolios amid economic uncertainty and geopolitical tension.
The expectation is that much of the increase will be driven by Chinese investment, followed by a recovery in European markets. Conversely, the US may experience some decline as investors there seek to take profits while gold continues to trade near record-high prices.
Gold supply is projected to see modest growth in 2025, with Metals Focus forecasting a 1 percent increase to 3,694 metric tons from the 3,661 metric tons recorded in 2024. Higher output is anticipated globally, with the exceptions of Asia, Oceania, and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
A significant contributor is a 19 percent increase in North American output as Artemis Gold’s (TSXV:ARTG,OTCQX:ARGTF) Blackwater mine, B2Gold’s (TSX:BTO,NYSE:BTG) Goose Project, and Calibre Mining’s (TSX:CXB,OTCQB:CXBMF) Valentine mine come online. Similarly, Central and South America are expected to see several new mines begin operations in 2025, resulting in a 23 percent increase in regional output.
The firm expects recycling to remain stable, despite predictions that gold prices will reach record highs for the remainder of 2025.
Metals Focus attributes this stability to weak retail destocking in China, which corresponds with low demand for jewellery. In the West, recycling is anticipated to be affected by near-market stock depletion and increased exchange rates of old for new jewellery in price-sensitive markets.
Furthermore, producer debt obligations must be addressed alongside periods of high capital expenditures for certain producers, which is anticipated to result in heightened hedging activity by year-end.
Overall, Metals Focus predicts a strong year for gold prices, driven by a global macro environment characterized by trade wars, economic uncertainty, and geopolitical tensions.
While higher prices may reduce discretionary spending on gold products, investors are turning to the gold market to diversify their portfolios, further contributing to a rise in gold prices in 2024 and 2025.
However, elevated prices will likely benefit producers who have spent recent years finding operational efficiencies and offsetting cost increases from a heightened inflationary environment. This situation has led to higher margins and a healthy balance sheet in 2024, which Metals Focus believes is likely to continue into 2025.
Although exploration activities faced a global downturn in 2024, there were notable exceptions. Metals Focus noted that mining data firm Opaxe recorded a 10 percent decrease in global exploration reports in 2024. However, Canada, Australia, and the US made up 70 percent of the total updates, indicating a preference for politically stable jurisdictions.
Investors in the gold market may benefit from paying attention to these trends, as producers aim to expand mining operations or seek new deposits to replenish depleting resources.

Commenting on the latest diamond drilling results from the Myall FJVA Project, Magmatic Resources’ Managing Director Mr David Richardson said:
“The gold mineralisation intersected by recent drilling at Calais has continued to open up this second exploration front within the Myall FJVA Project and intersecting a gold-copper zone at this early stage is very encouraging. We are working closely with Fortescue on a follow-up program.”
