HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights for the three months ended August 31, 2026 include:
Operational
Colombia
- On 9th June, 2026 the Company announced the discovery of new mineralized zones at APTA. The results substantially enhanced the prospectivity of APTA with three areas of potential requiring follow up. APTA continued to deliver and on 14th July, 2026 the Company announced a substantial gold intersection in Hole MAP 107 of 135m @ 1.91g/t Au, including 49m @ 4.06g/t Au. The hole ended in mineralisation.
- On 5th August, 2026 the Company confirmed that it had identified an extension of Pepas West with a flat lying body of mineralisation roughly 100 metres to the west of Pepas. The Company considers this free digging, flat lying, surficial, high grade oxide gold mineralisation to be a high priority in a near-term production scenario, from the point of view of cost and time required to define, develop and mine.
- Post the period end, on 15th September, 2026, the Company announced that it made a discovery at El Cedro, the most southerly of its three prospects. Partial results from the first hole at El Cedro showed gold mineralisation from surface of 61.35m @ 0.93g including 42.15m @ 1.02 g/t from 19m. Subsequently the Company announced gold mineralisation of 0.65g/t from surface to a depth of 267 metres, at which point drilling was prematurely terminated due to mechanical issues. Drilling has recommenced with a planned hole depth of 500m.
Argentina
- On 22nd July, 2026 the Company announced that its drilling campaign at the Company's 100% owned El Pantano project had identified a major epithermal gold/silver system and that an NI 43 101 Technical Report had been filed on the project. The project comprises approximately 560km2 of contiguous granted licences in the prolific Deseado Massif of Santa Cruz Province, in Southern Argentina, roughly 45km from Anglo Gold's Cerro Vanguardia mining camp and 100km SE of Newmont Mining's giant Cerro Negro mine.
The west-to-east zonation at El Pantano is a key outcome of the Technical Report and provides an important framework which provides multiple exploration vectors, including structurally controlled gold-bearing vein corridors in the west, possible feeder structures at depth, newly identified regional soil anomalies south of the principal structure, and preserved pathfinder-rich alteration zones in the east. The Company will consider these alternatives and will develop exploration plans over the winter recess.
Financial and Corporate
- The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost method except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are accounted for as Assets and Liabilities held for sale (at the lower of book value or fair value) and Profit and Loss from discontinuing operations. This accounting treatment has been applied to the activities in Uruguay and Chile.
- On August 31, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $7,841,000 (May 31, 2026 $9,954,000). 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 US$16,840,000.
- On October 6, 2026, the Company announced the closing of a brokered private placement (the "Placement") which raised gross proceeds of Cdn$16,000,000 (including gross proceeds of Cdn$2,000,000 from the full exercise of the agent's option) through the issue 50,000,000 units at a price of Cdn$0.32 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of US$0.32 for a period of 24 months following closing of the placement.
Outlook and Strategy
The Company will focus on Colombia and Argentina whilst also looking for new opportunities in South America.

About Orosur Mining Inc.
Orosur Mining Inc. (TSXV: OMI) (AIM: OMI) is a minerals explorer and developer currently operating in Colombia and Argentina.
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 in the case of the Anza Project, or on site in temporary racks in the case of the El Pantano Project, 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 and MAP-106 and CED001 onwards are sent to Medellin laboratory of Actlabs for preparation and fire assay, with some samples then sent to the Canadian Actlabs facility for multi element 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 geological thicknesses are unknown.
