Q4-2023 Portfolio Updates
Vale Base Metals-Mundoro Projects, Serbia
Completion of Phase II Drill Program at Markov Kamen South. In Q4-2023 a Phase II Drill program was completed to follow up on potential extensions to mineralization intersected during previous drilling campaigns. The program drilled 738.4 meters in a single drill hole. Assay results are expected in Q1-2024.
Completion of Phase II Drill Program at Bacevica North. In Q4-2023 a Phase II drilling program was completed to follow up areas of interest identified with geochemistry and geophysics. The program drilled 1022.1 meters in a single drill hole. Assay results are expected in Q1-2024.
Completion of Phase II Drill Program at Branik. In Q4-2023 a Phase II drilling program was completed to follow up on copper mineralisation intersected in previous drilling in 2013. The program drilled 753.3 meters in four drill holes. Assay results are expected in Q1-2024.
Advancing Exploration for Upcoming Drill Programs:In Q4-2023 a passive seismic geophysical survey was completed over a target area between two known lithocap areas identified as the Skorusa Corridor, with geophysical interpretation expected in Q1-2024. The Company completed an extensive target review process for all the Vale Base Metals (VBM) - Mundoro (MUN) projects at the end of 2023 which identified target areas of focus for the next phase of exploration.

Focused on Community Engagements: In Q4-2023 the work program focused on community engagement and permitting in preparation for future drilling at the Central Target and Southern Target areas.

Completion of Scout Drilling in Vitanovac: In Q4-2023 a scout drill hole to confirm prospective volcanic units within the Vitanovac license was completed with 458.2 meters of drilling. A down-hole petrophysical survey was also completed for the hole during the quarter. Assay results for core samples and interpretation of the down-hole logging data is expected in Q1-2024.
Advancing Exploration for Upcoming Drill Programs: In Q4-2023 a ground gravity survey in the South Corridor Project was completed with a total 2331 gravity station measurements. Results were received for the ground gravity survey as well as results for an additional ground gravity survey completed at the end of Q3-2024 covering the Trstenik Project. In Q4-2023 a passive seismic geophysical survey was completed in the Trstenik Project with geophysical interpretation expected in Q1-2024. The Company is compiling the geophysical interpretations along with the geological, geochemical and alteration data sets for each project in order to develop additional drill targets for testing.

Advancing Exploration for Upcoming Drill Program: In Q4-2023 the Company received the geophysical interpretation for the completed ("AMT") survey which covered 27 line kilometers. The AMT interpretation was used to fine tune already planned drill hole locations, as well as to generate new drill targets and plan additional drill holes to test these targets. A Phase I drill program is planned for 1,900 meters after receiving all relevant permissions from local government agencies.

Drilling at Dos Cabezas in Arizona: The Phase 1 Drill Program recommenced at Dos Cabezas in Q4-2023 over three target areas: Mineral Park, Mescal Canyon and Casey Copper Canyon. The drill hole at Mineral Park was completed to the planned depth of 598 meters intersecting strong alteration over multiple zones. The drill hole at Mescal Canyon was drilled to 744 meters and the hole will be completed to the planned depth of 900 meters once the drilling contractors return to site in the new year. The Phase 1 Drill Program will also test the Casey Copper Canyon target to a proposed depth of 600 meters. Results will be released once the Phase 1 Drill Program is completed and all assay results are returned and interpreted.
Advancing Exploration for Upcoming Drill Program in Picacho: In Q4-2023, project wide drone magnetic and ground gravity surveys were completed and the results returned. Geophysical interpretations are ongoing and planning is underway to integrate these results with mapping and geochemical results to develop drill targets for testing in the next phase of exploration.
New Projects Identified in Arizona: The Company's generative exploration team has identified in 2023 two new designated projects which have been submitted to Vale Base Metals. The Company's generative team continues to develop additional areas of interest for further designated projects in under exploration regions of Arizona.
